In a bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Add shredded coconut if desired.
Mix in softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.
If mixture is too dry, add more yogurt or a splash of water; if too wet, add more protein powder or oats.
Roll mixture into 10-12 small, 1-inch diameter balls.
Place balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Coat balls in crushed graham cracker crumbs for extra cheesecake flavor.

Add lemon zest for a citrus twist.

Drizzle or dip in melted dark chocolate for an indulgent treat.

Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.

Can substitute vegan cream cheese or extra Greek yogurt for dairy-free option.

Freeze-dried strawberries provide best flavor; fresh strawberries can be used with slight yogurt adjustment.

Recipe is naturally nut-free unless toppings are added.
