Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Bites

Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Bites

Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Bites are a nutritious and energizing snack combining creamy cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, zesty lemon, and wholesome ingredients to provide a protein-packed, flavorful treat perfect for any time of the day.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 to 15 bites 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Fruit

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Combine the cottage cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey (or your chosen sweetener), and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended to create a creamy base.
  2. Mix in the Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and fresh blueberries. Stir carefully to distribute the blueberries without crushing them, preserving their juicy texture within the mixture.
  3. Shape Into Bites: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small, compact balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray to prepare for chilling.
  4. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the protein bites for at least one hour to help them firm up and develop their flavor. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy or store.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cottage cheese for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Gently fold blueberries in to keep them whole and prevent the bites from becoming too wet.
  • Adjust honey or syrup to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use a small scoop for uniform protein bites that chill evenly.
  • Allow enough chilling time for bites to firm up properly before serving.
