Description
Naturally sweet and protein-packed, these no-bake blueberry protein balls are made with oats, almond butter, dried blueberries, and vanilla protein powder. They make the perfect quick and healthy snack for any time of day.
Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1–2 tablespoons water (if needed for consistency)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, flaxseed, and a pinch of salt.
- Add almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in the dried blueberries until evenly distributed.
- If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until it holds together when pressed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the protein balls in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Use maple syrup and plant-based protein powder to keep it vegan.
Substitute dried blueberries with cranberries, cherries, or chopped dates.
Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture.
Try chocolate protein powder or a pinch of cinnamon for flavor variation.
No reheating needed—grab and enjoy straight from the fridge or freezer.
