Scale
Main 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 (gently fold into the mixture)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined into a uniform mixture.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the mixture to avoid mashing them, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue until all mixture is used.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the protein bites to firm up and set properly.
- Serve and Store: Once chilled, enjoy the blueberry cheesecake protein bites immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- To keep the bites dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
- For added texture, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or chopped nuts.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and also freeze well for longer storage.
