Ingredients
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
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the wet mixture, taking care not to crush them to retain texture and flavor.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms that holds together well.
- Shape Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
- Chill: Arrange the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set.
- Store: Transfer the chilled bites to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture, but frozen blueberries work well too; just thaw slightly before folding in.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup to make the bites vegan-friendly.
- For a lower sugar option, adjust or omit the sweetener according to taste.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the other wet ingredients.
- These protein bites are perfect as a quick snack or post-workout fuel.
- Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
