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

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.
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.
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.
Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
Shape Bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them between your palms into bite-sized balls.
Refrigerate: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
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.
