How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites: Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Blueberries

Place freeze-dried blueberries in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or pulse briefly in a food processor. You want a fine crumble—not a powder.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, and the crushed blueberries. Add a pinch of salt and stir well.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add cream cheese, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until a dough begins to form.

If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the dough is soft but not sticky.

Step 4: Shape Into Bites

Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into 12–15 small balls. Place on a parchment-lined plate or tray.

Step 5: Chill and Store

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

These blueberry protein bites can also be frozen for longer storage—just thaw before enjoying.

Tips for the Best No-Bake Protein Snacks Every Time

• Use freeze-dried, not fresh blueberries to prevent soggy dough
• Adjust protein powder: If your brand is dry, increase moisture slightly with more milk or syrup
• Use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing
• Add texture by rolling in crushed nuts or extra berries after shaping
• Customize the size: Make mini bites for calorie-controlled snacking or double-size for a post-workout boost

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Making Protein Bites

• Using too much liquid: Makes the dough too sticky and hard to roll
• Skipping the chill time: Bites may be too soft to hold their shape

• Over-blending the blueberries: Keep some texture for flavor and color
