Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- ½ cup protein powder
Fruits and Base:
- ¼ cup blueberry puree
- ½ cup coconut flour
Sweeteners and Binding Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar of choice
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese (dairy or dairy-free)
Instructions
- Transform ripe blueberries into a silky, vibrant puree by thoroughly mashing or blending the fruits until completely smooth and consistent in texture.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, amalgamate whey protein powder, finely ground coconut flour, freshly prepared blueberry puree, and softened cream cheese, using gentle kneading motions to create a cohesive, uniform dough.
- Carefully assess the dough’s consistency, making precise adjustments: incrementally incorporate of coconut flour if the mixture appears too soft, or introduce small amounts of blueberry puree, water, or unsweetened almond milk if the texture seems overly dense.
- Utilizing clean hands, methodically shape the protein-rich dough into uniformly sized spheres, each approximately in volume, and arrange them neatly on a chilled tray or plate.
- Transfer the formed protein balls to the refrigerator, allowing them to firm and solidify for a minimum of 15 minutes, which enhances their structural integrity and flavor melding.
- Once chilled, transfer the blueberry cheesecake protein balls to a sealed, airtight container and store within the refrigerator, maintaining optimal freshness until ready for consumption.
Notes
- Chilling transforms these protein balls from soft, sticky dough into firm, delectable bites that hold their shape perfectly.
- Moisture control matters when mixing ingredients, so add coconut flour or liquid sparingly to achieve ideal dough consistency.
- Rolling uniform balls ensures even texture and helps them set consistently in the refrigerator.
- Blueberry puree provides natural sweetness and vibrant color while binding ingredients together smoothly.
- Cream cheese adds creamy richness and helps create a cohesive, protein-packed snack that’s both nutritious and indulgent.
