Ingredients Needed

Protein Base

• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
• ½ cup almond flour

Creamy Cheesecake Flavor

• ⅓ cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Blueberry Swirl

• ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey (optional)

Coating (Optional)

• ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or oat crumbs for rolling

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the blueberry swirl: In a small saucepan, simmer blueberries, lemon juice, and honey for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool.
2. Mix the cheesecake base: In a bowl, combine protein powder, oat flour, almond flour, cream cheese, yogurt, honey, and vanilla until a thick dough forms.
3. Swirl and combine: Gently fold in the cooled blueberry mixture — don’t overmix for a pretty marbled effect.
4. Shape into bites: Roll into 1-inch balls and coat in graham cracker crumbs if desired.
5. Chill: Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Serve and enjoy: Store in an airtight container and enjoy cold for the best texture.

Tips for Success

• Use cold cream cheese for a firm texture that’s easy to roll.
• Adjust consistency with a splash of almond milk if the dough feels too dry.
• For extra blueberry flavor, mix in freeze-dried blueberry powder.
• Chill before serving to achieve that classic cheesecake bite.
• Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.

Variations & Substitutions

• Vegan option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and plant-based protein powder.
• No protein powder: Substitute with extra oat flour and a bit more Greek yogurt.
• Berry swap: Try strawberries, raspberries, or a mixed-berry blend.
• Nut-free: Use coconut flour instead of almond flour.
• Sweetener: Replace honey with agave or date syrup for a different flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled with a handful of fresh blueberries.
• Pair with morning coffee or a post-workout shake.
• Arrange on a dessert board for a healthy party bite.
• Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a treat-worthy look.

Storage & Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Freeze up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before eating.
• Reheat: These are best served cold — no reheating needed!
