Strawberry Protein Ball

Amy Roskelley
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour
Makes 6 balls

INGREDIENTS

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 32 grams
• 1/3 cup oats dry
• 1 tablespoon Sugar free Jello Powder, strawberry flavor
• 25 grams strawberry

METHOD

1. Blend protein powder, oats, sugar free jello powder in a food processor.
2. Add one small strawberry, about 25 grams. Blend in the food processor. If it comes out like dough, it’s good. If it’s still powdery, add 1/2 strawberry more at a time. Too much strawberry will give you mush! There’s a lot of water in strawberries, so take it slow. And don’t use a frozen strawberry. Also, too much water.
3. Once the mixture resembles the consistency of cookie dough, you’re good to roll them into 1 tablespoon balls, making 6 of them.
