- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the wet mixture, taking care not to crush them to retain their shape and freshness.

- Chill: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
- Storage: Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for extended shelf life.

- Substitute honey with maple syrup to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.
- For variety, replace blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or chopped dried cranberries.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing.
- Roll the bites tightly to prevent crumbling.
