Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Vanilla or unflavored protein powder
Cream cheese or thick Greek yogurt (dairy-free works too)
Almond flour or oat flour
Maple syrup or honey (to taste)
Fresh or freeze-dried blueberries
Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: lemon zest, shredded coconut, or crushed graham crackers for topping

Directions

In a bowl, I mix the cream cheese or yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
I stir in the almond flour until a dough-like texture forms. I fold in the blueberries gently so they don’t burst.
I roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls using my hands or a cookie scoop.
I place them on a lined tray and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Optional: I roll some in coconut or crushed graham crackers for extra flavor and texture.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 10–12 bites. It takes 10 minutes to mix and 30 minutes to chill, so it’s ready in about 40 minutes.

Variations

I use lemon zest for a blueberry lemon cheesecake version.
I swap blueberries for strawberries or raspberries when I want a twist.
For a nut-free version, I use oat flour instead of almond flour.
I dip them in melted dark chocolate and chill for a dessert-style treat.

Storage/Reheating

I store these protein bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well—just thaw for a few minutes before eating. No reheating needed. Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but I thaw and pat them dry first. Too much moisture can make the mixture too soft.

What type of protein powder works best?

I use a vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder. If it’s sweetened, I reduce the maple syrup slightly.

Are these bites gluten-free?

Yes, as long as I use certified gluten-free oat flour or almond flour.

Can I make them vegan?

Yes, I use dairy-free cream cheese or coconut yogurt and a plant-based protein powder.

Do I need to bake or cook them?

Nope! These are completely no-bake. Just mix, chill, and enjoy.

Conclusion

Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites are the perfect combo of delicious and nutritious—giving me that sweet, creamy flavor I crave while keeping me fueled. Whether I grab one on my way out the door or enjoy a few as an afternoon snack, these bites make healthy eating feel like a treat. They’re simple, customizable, and always a hit in my fridge.
