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 rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed to form the dry base for the bites.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries into the wet mixture, taking care not to crush them to keep bursts of blueberry flavor intact.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir well until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined.
- Form Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each into a ball using your hands.
- Chill: Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store Properly: Transfer the firmed protein bites to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze to extend shelf life.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup to keep the bites vegan-friendly.
- Using frozen blueberries is fine; just thaw slightly to avoid excess moisture.
- For a nut-free version, try substituting almond flour with oat flour or a seed flour.
- If the mixture feels too sticky, add a bit more almond flour or oats to achieve the right consistency.
- These bites make a perfect grab-and-go snack that requires no baking.
