  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Flavor Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Coating Options (Choose One):

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • Wash and dry fresh blueberries (if using), then chop finely.
  • Measure and set out all ingredients.

Step 2: Create the Base Mixture

  • In a large bowl, mix oats, protein powder, flaxseed, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  • Stir in honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the oat mixture.
  • Mix thoroughly with a spatula or hands until combined.
  • Fold in dried blueberries and optional fresh blueberries.

Step 4: Test Consistency

  • Press a small amount in your palm; it should hold together.
  • Adjust with extra yogurt if too dry or more oats if too wet.

Step 5: Form and Coat the Balls

  • Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion mixture into balls.
  • Roll between your palms until smooth.
  • Roll in your chosen coating.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

  • Place protein balls on a parchment-lined plate.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
