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

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the wet mixture, taking care not to crush them to retain their shape and texture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring thoroughly until a dough forms that is sticky and holds together.
  5. Form Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball with your hands.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up properly.
  7. Store Properly: Once firm, store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for extended shelf life.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup to make the bites vegan.
  • Use fresh blueberries in season or frozen for convenience; just avoid thawing fully to prevent mushiness.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or more Greek yogurt to help bind it.
  • These bites can be customized by adding nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrients.
  • Keep refrigerated because of the cream cheese and Greek yogurt to maintain freshness and food safety.
