Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup protein powder (vanilla flavored recommended)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, protein powder, rolled oats, and blueberries. Use a spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix until all components are evenly incorporated and form a sticky dough-like consistency.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Ensure they are firmly packed so they hold together well.
- Chill: Place the rolled balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and develop their flavor. Once chilled, they are ready to serve.
Notes
- If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more protein powder or oats to reach the desired texture.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, thaw slightly to avoid too much moisture.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For added texture and flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a handful of chopped nuts.
