Description

These Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites are a delicious and nutritious no-bake snack packed with vanilla protein powder, fresh blueberries, and creamy cheesecake flavors. Perfect for a quick energy boost or post-workout treat, they combine wholesome ingredients like rolled oats and almond flour with creamy Greek yogurt and cream cheese for a satisfying bite-sized snack.

Ingredients

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
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
  2. Prepare wet mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy for a rich cheesecake flavor base.
  3. Add blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the cream cheese mixture carefully so the berries remain mostly intact and do not crush.
  4. Create dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring consistently until a dough-like consistency forms, making it easy to shape.
  5. Form protein bites: Scoop portions of the mixture using a tablespoon and roll the portions into small, uniform balls using your hands.
  6. Chill the bites: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set properly.
  7. Store properly: Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for extended preservation.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability, fresh will give a slightly firmer texture.
  • For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make blending easier and a smoother texture.
  • If mixture is too dry, add a small splash of almond milk to help bind.
  • These bites are ideal as a pre- or post-workout snack due to the protein content.
