Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
2 scoops vanilla protein powder

Wet Ingredients

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Fruit

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

Combine 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.
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 is smooth and creamy.
Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to crush them to retain their shape and texture.
Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough-like consistency forms that can be shaped by hand.
Shape the bites: Scoop out portions of the mixture using a tablespoon and roll them gently into small balls with your hands.
Chill to set: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
Store properly: Transfer the bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use either fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; thaw frozen blueberries before mixing for best results.
To make the recipe vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based yogurt and cream cheese alternative.
For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds to the mixture.
These bites can be frozen and thawed before eating without altering the flavor or texture significantly.
If the mixture is too sticky, chill it briefly before shaping into balls for easier handling.
