Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites are a no-bake, high-protein snack made with oats, protein powder, freeze-dried blueberries, and a creamy cheesecake glaze, perfect for a healthy treat or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking, gluten-free if needed)

½ cup vanilla protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)

¼ cup freeze-dried blueberries, finely ground

¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana)

¼ cup cream cheese, softened (or vegan alternative)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)

¼ cup frozen blueberries (thawed and drained)

1–2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy) as needed

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (for glaze)

1–2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1–2 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional)

Fresh blueberries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Grind the freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder using a blender or food processor.
  2. In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, freeze-dried blueberry powder, and chia or flax seeds (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce (or mashed banana), softened cream cheese, and honey or maple syrup.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the thawed and drained frozen blueberries.
  6. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a rollable consistency.
  7. Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  9. Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the protein bites and top each with a fresh blueberry for extra color and flavor.
  11. If desired, chill the bites for an additional 10 minutes to set the glaze.
  12. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to use any protein powder you like, such as whey, casein, or plant-based protein.

If you prefer a less sweet version, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.

You can add chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.

For a fully plant-based version, use dairy-free cream cheese and non-dairy milk.
