Per piece: 42 calories | 2.5g carbs | 2g fat | 4g protein

Pro Tips:

1. Scoop out berries just a bit in center to allow room for the filling!
2. Soften cream cheese slightly before mixing for easier blending.
3. Use a small (1 tbsp) melon baller or small cookie scoop to neatly fill each strawberry with minimal mess.
4. Crushed graham crackers (I used gluten-free grahms) give that traditional cheesecake vibe, but feel free to swap in crushed cookies, granola, or even mini chocolate chips for a fun twist.
5. Use your favorite protein powder—vanilla is classic, but flavored options like strawberry, chocolate, or even cinnamon roll are fun to experiment with.

When to Enjoy:

• As a low-carb dessert when you’re craving something sweet (2.5g carb per piece)
• After a workout to get in a protein-packed snack (4g carb per piece)
• As a quick, healthy treat to keep your clean eating goals on track
• At gatherings where you want to impress without stress!

Whether you’re fueling recovery, meal-prepping healthy snacks, or adding a colorful treat to your next brunch, these stuffed strawberries check all the boxes: tasty, easy, and nutrient-rich.
