Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup almond flour

1/4 tsp salt
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, I combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and protein powder. I make sure to mix them well so the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, I blend the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently, I fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to crush them as I want them to keep their shape and burst of flavor.
Gradually, I add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until everything comes together and forms a dough-like consistency.
Using a tablespoon, I scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls with my hands.
I place the protein bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once set, I store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
These are ready to enjoy as a quick snack or dessert!
