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

Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat 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 them, to retain their bursts of flavor and texture.
Form the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
Shape the bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each into a ball with your hands to form bite-sized snacks.
Chill for firmness: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, enhancing their texture.
Storage: Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for longer storage to maintain freshness.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; frozen can be used directly without thawing.
Maple syrup can be substituted for honey for a vegan option, but the diet category will then not strictly apply.
Do not overmix when folding in blueberries to prevent them from breaking and coloring the dough too much.
For firmer bites, freeze for 15 minutes after chilling in the fridge.
These bites make a convenient grab-and-go snack, ideal for pre/post workouts or a sweet healthy treat.
