Protein Bites Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened (Can substitute with plant-based cream cheese if dairy-free.)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain flavor)
- ½ cup protein powder (vanilla flavor recommended)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (gently fold into the mixture)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all your ingredients and soften the cream cheese to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Combine Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined into a smooth, consistent batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the mixture, taking care not to mash them to maintain bursts of fresh blueberry flavor in the bites.
- Form Bites: Using clean hands, scoop about a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball. Place each completed bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet with the formed bites into the refrigerator and let them firm up for 30 to 60 minutes until they are set and hold their shape well.
- Serve: Once chilled, the blueberry cheesecake protein bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Use vanilla-flavored protein powder to complement the cheesecake taste.
- These bites are best stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-4 days.
- For extra flavor, you can roll the bites in crushed nuts or shredded coconut before chilling.
