ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

½ cup rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Fresh blueberries (for folding in and topping)
Optional: vanilla extract (a splash)

directions

I start by combining the rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, I mix the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and a splash of vanilla extract until the texture is smooth and creamy.
Then I pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir everything together until well combined.
I gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to mash them too much.
If the mixture feels too dry to roll, I add milk (a teaspoon at a time) to help it come together.
I roll the mixture into 1-inch bite-sized balls and place them on a tray.
I refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up.
Just before serving, I sometimes top each with an extra blueberry or a drizzle of the cream cheese mixture for a fun finishing touch.

Variations

When I want to switch things up, I try these variations:

Dairy-free version: I use vegan cream cheese and non-dairy yogurt.
Add crunch: I mix in chopped nuts or granola.
Chocolate twist: I add mini dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.
Coconut flavor: I swap out some almond flour for shredded coconut.
Citrus zing: I add lemon zest to enhance the cheesecake tang.

storage/reheating

I store these in an airtight container in the fridge, and they stay fresh for up to 5 days. If I make a big batch, I freeze some — they freeze really well. When I want to eat them from the freezer, I let them thaw for a few minutes at room temperature. No reheating needed.

FAQs

How do I keep the bites from falling apart?

I make sure the mixture is moist enough to bind — sometimes I add a splash of milk if it’s too dry. Chilling them also helps them stay firm.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

I prefer fresh ones because frozen blueberries can release too much moisture and make the mixture soggy. If I do use frozen, I thaw and drain them well first.

Can I use a different protein powder?

Yes, I’ve tried different kinds. I recommend sticking with a vanilla flavor for the best cheesecake taste, but plant-based or whey both work.

Are these gluten-free?

They can be. I use certified gluten-free oats and check that the protein powder and other ingredients don’t contain gluten.

Can kids eat these?

Absolutely! These are a great, healthy snack for kids, especially if I use maple syrup instead of honey for little ones under 1 year.

These no-bake blueberry cheesecake protein bites have become one of my favorite go-to snacks.
