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 rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the wet mixture carefully, so the berries remain mostly intact and don’t crush.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring well until a dough-like consistency forms that holds together when pressed.
- Form Bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Chill: Place the formed protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the protein bites to an airtight container. Store refrigerated for up to 1 week or freeze for longer shelf life. Enjoy chilled as a convenient and healthy snack.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability. If using frozen, thaw them slightly before folding in.
- For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives and use a plant-based protein powder.
- You can adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup according to taste.
- Rolling the bites tightly will help them hold together better when chilled.
- These no-bake bites are perfect for meal prepping and can be portioned out for grab-and-go snacking.
