Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites (Print Version)

Creamy blueberry cheesecake flavored protein bites that are ready in 15 minutes. A perfect healthy snack or post-workout treat.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

03 - 1/4 cup almond flour

04 - Pinch of salt

05 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

06 - 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

07 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

08 - 1/3 cup fresh or freeze-dried blueberries

09 - Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

01 - In a large bowl, combine oats, protein powder, almond flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

02 - Add softened cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until a thick, uniform dough forms.

03 - Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest if using, being careful not to crush the fruit.

04 - Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the dough into 12 evenly-sized bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.

05 - Place bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm and set.

06 - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for optimal freshness.

01 -

They taste like dessert but pack 4 grams of protein per bite, so you can actually feel good about eating two or three
The cream cheese makes them incredibly rich and smooth, unlike those chalky protein balls youve probably tried before

02 -

If your dough feels too dry to hold together, add milk one teaspoon at a time until it comes together
Fresh blueberries will release some moisture as the bites sit, which actually keeps them pleasantly soft

03 -

Freeze-dried blueberries give you intense flavor without the extra moisture, so the bites stay firmer longer
Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed if you want to boost the fiber content without changing the taste
