Ingredients

For the Base

2 cups Rolled Oats Provides structure and a chewy texture; try using ground oats for a finer texture.
1 cup Protein Powder Choose your favorite flavor like vanilla or chocolate.
0.5 cups Almond Butter Acts as a binding agent; peanut butter works well as a substitute.
0.25 cups Honey Adds natural sweetness; consider maple syrup for a vegan option.

For the Freshness

1 cup Fresh Strawberries Chopped and well-drained if using frozen ones.
4 oz Cream Cheese Provides a creamy texture; dairy-free cream cheese can be used for a vegan swap.
