How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites

Prepare the Freeze-Dried Blueberries
If using whole freeze-dried blueberries, grind them into a fine powder using a food processor or blender. This gives the bites their beautiful purple color and an intense blueberry flavor.

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, freeze-dried blueberry powder, and chia or flax seeds (if using).

Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce (or mashed banana), softened cream cheese, and honey or maple syrup.

Combine Everything
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.

Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold in the thawed and drained frozen blueberries. This adds bursts of real blueberry flavor.

Adjust the Consistency
If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a rollable consistency.

Roll into Bites
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar (if using). Adjust the milk amount until you get a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.

Chill the Bites
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up. Longer chilling results in better texture.

Drizzle & Decorate
Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the chilled bites and top each one with a fresh blueberry.

Chill Again (Optional)
For the glaze to fully set, place them back in the fridge for another 10 minutes.

Serve & Enjoy
These bites are best served chilled and make the perfect grab-and-go snack.

What to Serve With Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?
Yes! Just pat them dry before adding them to prevent excess moisture.

What protein powder works best?

Can I make these dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use vegan cream cheese and plant-based protein powder for a dairy-free version.

Do these need to be refrigerated?
Yes! Because they contain cream cheese, they should be kept chilled for freshness.
