  2. Incorporate the Flavor Burst by folding in the protein powder, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips into the oat mixture. Stir for 1-2 minutes to ensure even distribution.
  3. Shape the Protein Balls by dampening your hands and rolling portions of the mixture into 1-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill to Firm Up by transferring the baking sheet to the refrigerator and letting them chill for at least 30 minutes.
