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
Additional
- 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. Stir thoroughly until these dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together 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 wet mixture, taking care not to crush them, to maintain bursts of blueberry flavor in each bite.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms that holds together well.
- Form Protein Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls with your hands.
- Chill the Bites: Place the formed bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set their shape.
- Storage: Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for extended shelf life.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with vegan-friendly alternatives.
- These bites are perfect as a quick snack or pre/post-workout energy booster.
- Keep refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness.
