Each ball has layers of creamy white and blue-purple colors, with some small pieces of oats visible throughout. They are arranged on a white marbled background, with one ball in sharp focus in the front and several blurred balls behind it, creating a soft depth effect.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened (can substitute with plant-based cream cheese if dairy-free)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the mixture, taking care not to crush them.
  3. Step 3: Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate the baking sheet for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the bites to firm up.
  5. Step 5: Once chilled, enjoy your blueberry cheesecake protein bites or store them as directed.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cream cheese and yogurt alternatives.
  • If you prefer a sweeter snack, add a little extra honey or maple syrup.
  • Try mixing in chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
  • Use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw slightly before folding into the mixture.

Storage

Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To enjoy later, simply take them out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. These bites can also be frozen for up to 2 months—thaw in the fridge before eating.

How to Serve

The image shows small round purple treats with a smooth, slightly shiny surface, each decorated with thin white lines drizzled on top, and a single fresh blueberry placed right in the middle of the top layer. The treats have a uniform size and are arranged loosely on a white marbled surface, with a few extra blueberries scattered around them, adding a fresh touch. The purple color of the treats has small darker specks throughout, giving them texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different protein powder?

Yes, any protein powder of your choice can be used. Vanilla flavor works best to complement the cheesecake and blueberry flavors, but chocolate or unflavored powders will work too.

How do I prevent the blueberries from getting crushed?

Fold the blueberries into the mixture gently with a spatula or spoon after all other ingredients are combined. Avoid stirring vigorously to keep them intact.
