Ingredients (Makes ~12 Bites)
-
1 cup rolled oats
-
½ cup vanilla protein powder
-
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
-
¼ cup dried or freeze-dried blueberries
-
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
-
2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Optional: 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseed for extra nutrition
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, chia/flax seeds (if using), and dried or freeze-dried blueberries.
2. Add Wet Ingredients
Add Greek yogurt, nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but moldable.
3. Form Bites
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1–1.5 inches in diameter).
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray.
4. Chill
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step helps the bites hold their shape and improves texture.
5. Serve
Enjoy chilled as a snack, post-workout treat, or breakfast boost.
Tips for Perfect Protein Bites
✔️ Use protein powder you enjoy; vanilla works best for flavor balance.
✔️ Freeze-dried blueberries keep the mixture from getting too wet. Fresh blueberries can be used but may make the bites softer.
✔️ If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of yogurt or nut butter at a time.
✔️ Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
