The image shows a close-up of several round blueberry oat snack balls, each ball having two main layers: a creamy white base mixed with light beige oat flakes and deep purple blueberries scattered throughout, giving a marbled effect. The balls have a smooth, slightly glossy surface with visible blueberry pieces embedded in the oats. In the background, there is a white bowl filled with fresh blueberries, and a few loose blueberries are placed on the white marbled surface where the balls rest.

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Gently fold the blueberries into the wet mixture, taking care not to crush them.
Step 4: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until it forms a dough.
Step 5: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
Step 6: Place the bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen blueberries for a firmer texture and a refreshing bite.
Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different flavor profile.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest for extra aroma and taste.
For a vegan option, replace cream cheese and Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives.

Storage

Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge for a few hours or enjoy cold straight from the freezer.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup based on personal preference.
These bites can be customized with other berries or mix-ins like chia seeds or chopped nuts.
Make sure to refrigerate the bites thoroughly before eating to help them hold their shape.
