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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and clump-free.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy, creating a homogeneous wet mixture.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to crush them, to maintain their shape and juiciness.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring carefully until a dough-like consistency forms that can be rolled into balls without sticking excessively.
- Form Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into small, uniform balls with your hands, ensuring they are compact and hold together.
- Chill Bites: Place the protein bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set properly before serving.
- Store Properly: Store the chilled protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them to extend their shelf life.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid soggy bites.
- Rolling the bites tightly helps prevent them from falling apart.
- Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- These bites make a great quick breakfast or snack option for busy days.
