Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by measuring out all your ingredients for the Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Protein Balls.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine the oats, almond flour, protein powder, nut butter, honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Gently fold in the crushed strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls.
  5. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the balls to firm up.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate using 20-second intervals to prevent burning.
  7. Carefully dip each chilled protein ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully covered.
  8. Once all the protein balls are coated, place the tray back into the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes.
