Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and protein powder with a pinch of salt. Stir gently for 1 minute.
In a separate bowl, mash fresh strawberries until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
Add cream cheese, nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until thick and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold in the mashed strawberries and white chocolate chips if desired.
Roll portions of the mixture into 1-inch balls. Use cooking spray on your hands if sticky.
Refrigerate the formed balls for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
