Blueberry Yogurt Protein Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
• 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, rolled oats, protein powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until well combined.
2. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. If you’re using frozen blueberries, you might want to thaw them first and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
3. Shape the Bites: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Store: Once chilled, transfer the bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
