Description
These No-Bake Blueberry Protein Bites are a quick and delicious snack packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They’re perfect for a post-workout refuel, a healthy treat, or an on-the-go snack. Made with wholesome ingredients, they’re easy to make, customizable, and require no baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or blueberry-flavored works great)
- 1/4 cup dried blueberries (or fresh/frozen blueberries, but dried will give a better texture)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds (if using), and dried blueberries.
- Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir everything together until the mixture is fully combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more almond milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach a sticky dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands with a little water to make rolling easier.
- Place the protein bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set and firm up.
- Once the bites are firm, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
- These protein bites are customizable. Swap blueberries for other dried fruits, and try different nut butters like peanut or cashew butter.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- To make them sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup, or use a sweetener of your choice.
- These bites make a great post-workout snack or an energy boost during the day. You can also freeze them for easy grab-and-go snacks.
