Ingredients
Method
Make the dough
- Combine vanilla protein powder, oat flour, graham cracker crumbs, and salt in a large bowl until evenly mixed, then keep the bowl level so dry ingredients disperse.
- Mix reduced-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and fresh blueberry puree in a separate bowl until smooth and lump-free, then scrape the sides for an even texture.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms, with no dry pockets remaining.
- Fold in crushed freeze-dried blueberries so the dough shows evenly distributed purple specks.
Shape and coat
- Roll the dough into 18 bite-sized balls using gentle pressure so each one holds together without cracking.
- Mix optional coating ingredients—crushed freeze-dried blueberries and graham cracker crumbs—in a shallow bowl, then roll the balls in the coating if desired for a speckled finish.
Chill and serve
- Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes before serving so they firm up and keep their shape.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness.
Notes
For the smoothest, most scoopable dough, make sure the reduced-fat cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Chill longer (up to 1 hour) if your balls feel slightly soft. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days; freezing is not recommended because the coating and blueberry texture can change after thawing. If you want a dairy-light option, use a high-protein Greek-yogurt alternative in the same amount.
