Description
Delicious and nutritious blueberry protein bites that are easy to make and perfect for a healthy snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup almond flour, and 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder. Stir until well mixed, ensuring no clumps remain — this should take about 1 minute.
- In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 2 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps!
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to avoid crushing the berries — this step should take about a minute.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; this should take about 1-2 minutes. You want to achieve a thick dough-like consistency.
- Scoop out portions of the mixture using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a ball about the size of a golf ball. This should yield about 12 bites; set them aside on a clean plate as you go.
- Place the rolled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to space them slightly apart to prevent sticking during refrigeration.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes. This allows them to firm up and develop their flavors. They should feel slightly firm to the touch when ready.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the flavor by adding different fruits or nuts.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
