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
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Stir thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to crush the berries to maintain their texture.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring well until a uniform, dough-like consistency is formed.
- Form Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into small bite-sized balls with your hands.
- Chill: Arrange the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Store: Keep the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
Notes
- For best texture, use fresh blueberries; if using frozen, thaw slightly before mixing.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup to keep the bites vegan-friendly if using vegan protein powder and yogurt.
- Ensure cream cheese and yogurt are softened to make mixing easier.
- Roll the balls tightly to prevent them from falling apart after chilling.
- These protein bites can be customized by adding chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
