Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dried blueberries or finely chopped fresh blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2–3 tablespoons milk of choice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder and almond flour until evenly mixed.
- Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Mix until a thick dough begins to form.
- Stir in the blueberries and chia seeds, mixing gently so they are evenly distributed.
- Add milk one tablespoon at a time if the mixture is too dry, until the dough becomes soft but not sticky.
- Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Place the bites on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Notes
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of almond flour to balance the texture.
- Fresh blueberries should be finely chopped to help the bites hold together.

- These bites can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw slightly before eating.
- Great as a quick snack, healthy dessert, or post-workout protein boost.
