Description
A refreshing and nutritious treat, these Bake Lemon Blueberry Protein bites are packed with flavor and protein, perfect for a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ⅓ cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup dried blueberries
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and optional cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk until evenly distributed.
- Add almond butter, honey, lemon zest, dried blueberries, and shredded coconut to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until a cohesive dough forms.
- Ensure all ingredients are well combined, with no dry pockets. If the mixture is too dry, add a touch more honey or almond butter; if too wet, add a bit more protein powder or oats.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, making it easier to handle.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the chilled mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form compact balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the rolled protein bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, you can add more honey.
- Feel free to substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
- Store in the refrigerator for freshness.
