Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Use fresh cottage cheese for best flavor.
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) If using frozen, thaw before use.
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced) Adds citrus flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather and measure all your ingredients to streamline the process.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in the oats and protein powder (if using) until well combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries, avoiding crushing them.
  5. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For optimal texture, blend the cottage cheese for a smoother consistency or leave it chunky for added bite. Feel free to customize with different fruits or add nuts for crunch. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
