Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour or sunflower seed flour.
  • Use frozen blueberries for a cooler, slightly firmer bite and to add a refreshing contrast.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest to enhance the flavor profile.
  • For extra texture, mix in a tablespoon of chia seeds or finely chopped nuts.

Storage

Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to one month. To enjoy, thaw in the fridge or at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before eating.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of protein powder?

Yes, you can use any vanilla-flavored protein powder you prefer. Just be mindful that the texture and sweetness might slightly vary depending on the brand and type.

Can I make these bites vegan?

To make a vegan version, replace the cream cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives like vegan cream cheese and coconut yogurt, and use maple syrup instead of honey.
