Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt until they are evenly mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the wet mixture, taking care not to crush them to preserve their shape and texture.
  4. Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
  5. Shape Bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them between your palms into bite-sized balls.
  6. Refrigerate: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  7. Storage: Store the prepared bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer preservation.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries based on availability, but avoid thawing frozen berries before mixing to prevent excess moisture.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • For a dairy-free version, consider using dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt alternatives.
  • Rolling the mixture into uniform-sized balls ensures even chilling and better portion control.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
