Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened (Can substitute with plant-based cream cheese if dairy-free)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain flavor)
- ½ cup protein powder (vanilla flavor recommended)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all your ingredients and soften the cream cheese to ensure easy mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix rolled oats, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to mash them, to maintain their texture and burst of flavor.
- Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture, then roll it into a ball. Place each bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until the entire mixture is used up.
- Chill: Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the bites for 30 to 60 minutes, allowing them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, enjoy your protein bites as a convenient snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- Adjust honey or maple syrup according to your preferred sweetness level.
- These bites can be kept refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- You may freeze the bites for longer storage; thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Use vanilla-flavored protein powder to enhance the cheesecake flavor.
