Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 4 ounces cream cheese (light or full-fat, or vegan cream cheese for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup as an alternative)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash the blueberries and zest the lemon. If using frozen blueberries, let them thaw slightly.
- Add the oats to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Skip this step if using quick oats.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, almond butter, honey, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually mix in the protein powder, ground oats, and a pinch of salt. The mixture should be thick enough to roll into balls.
- Gently stir in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
- Place the protein bites on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container and enjoy as needed.
Notes
If the mixture feels too sticky, add more ground oats or protein powder. For a smoother texture, ensure the oats are finely crushed. Chill the bites before serving for the best flavor and texture.
