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

Fruit

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt. Stir well until the mixture is even and set aside.
Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract 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 the berries to maintain their texture and color.
Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a dough-like consistency forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands for an even shape.
Chill: 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: Keep the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for extended storage.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; frozen berries can be added directly without thawing to avoid excess moisture.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use plant-based yogurt and cream cheese alternatives.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to taste preferences.
Rolling the bites in shredded coconut or crushed nuts before chilling can add texture and flavor variety.
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
