Creamy, sweet and pink! These raspberry protein balls are indulgent and gorgeous, encased in a white chocolate shell that makes you feel like you’re biting into a raspberry truffle. The secret to the creaminess is none other than cream cheese!

- Raspberries – I used fresh, and I roughly chopped it up using the back of a fork
- Cream Cheese – I’ve tried using both dairy and vegan cream cheese made from almond milk, and both turn out delicious.
- Protein Powder – You can use any protein powder for this. I used a vanilla plant-based protein powder.
- Coconut Flour – you can use any brand of coconut flour for this recipe.
- Melted white chocolate chips – I used regular white chocolate chips, but you can also use white candy melts or almond bark. I also like using this stevia sweetened brand since it’s lower-carb/lower sugar diet-friendly

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:
- You can use other berries for this recipe, such as strawberries, blueberries or blackberries
- Feel free to experiment with natural flavoring / extracts. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (I didn’t feel like it was essential so I left it out in this recipe), or other flavorings or extracts, such as lemon extract or raspberry extract
- Add a tablespoon of chocolate chips into the batter if you don’t want to have to melt and coat the protein balls in chocolate
- You can also use semi-sweet chocolate to coat these raspberry protein balls. You can also use my healthy keto chocolate recipe instead!
How to Make this Healthier
- Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition. Even better, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or chia seeds.
How to Store
- Store these protein balls covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Final Tips
- Coconut flour and protein powders are all very different depending on brands, so if you find that the dough is too soft, add more coconut flour; if the dough is too thick, add a teaspoon or more of water, honey or liquid sweetener of choice.
