Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried blueberries
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, vanilla whey protein powder, almond flour, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Add almond butter, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a uniform dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the freeze-dried blueberries into the dough to distribute them evenly without crushing.
- Shape bites: Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to scoop out the mixture and shape into bite-sized balls.
- Chill bites: Arrange the protein bites on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store bites: Transfer the set bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week for a nutritious grab-and-go snack.
Notes
- Freeze-dried blueberries add flavor and texture without adding moisture—avoid using fresh blueberries to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any nut/seed butter of your choice.
- Adjust maple syrup to taste or substitute with honey or agave syrup.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based protein powder, dairy-free yogurt, and a non-dairy milk alternative.
- These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to a month; just thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
