Description
No-bake protein bites that mimic the flavor of blueberry cheesecake, featuring a creamy texture with juicy blueberry pockets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened (about 8 oz / 226 g)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (about 120 g)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or cheesecake flavor)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or almond flour
Instructions
- Soften and combine the creamy base: Beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt together in a mixing bowl until smooth and lump-free.
- Add sweetener and protein: Add the protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in blueberries and crumbs: Gently fold in the blueberries and the crushed graham crackers or almond flour until evenly distributed.
- Shape into balls: Using a small cookie scoop or clean hands, roll the mixture into small balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
Chill time is crucial for texture; use room-temperature cream cheese for best results.
