Ingredients
1 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons creamy non-dairy cream cheese (or dairy cream cheese)
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Zest 4 limes to get 2 tablespoons of zest
Juice the limes to get 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
In a large bowl, combine protein powder, Greek yogurt, lime zest, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice
Mix in honey, oats, coconut flour, almonds, and vanilla extract until a thick, moldable dough forms
Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls
Press a small indentation into each ball with a thumb
Fill the indentation with a small amount of good-quality lime curd (recipe optional below)
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving
Notes
Use agave syrup as a sugar-free alternative to honey
For a vegan version, substitute with dairy-free yogurt and vegan cream cheese
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
Intended for high-protein snacks, not baked goods
