Description

Refreshing no-bake lemon blueberry cottage cheese protein bites made with creamy cottage cheese, bright lemon zest, and juicy blueberries for a lightly sweet and nourishing snack.


Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup fresh blueberries

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Stir until the mixture is well blended and evenly combined.
  3. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, keeping them intact.
  4. Scoop the mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  6. Serve chilled and store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese first for a smoother texture if desired.

Ensure blueberries are dry to prevent excess moisture.

Add chia seeds, shredded coconut, or protein powder for variation.

Keep refrigerated for best texture and freshness.
