Ingredients
Scale
Protein Ball Mixture
- 1/2 cup protein powder*
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice**
- 4 Tbsp cream cheese (dairy or dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup blueberry puree***
Instructions
- Prepare Blueberry Puree: Mash fresh blueberries or blend them in a small blender until smooth to create the blueberry puree. This adds natural sweetness and vibrant color to the protein balls.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, coconut flour, blueberry puree, and cream cheese. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the dough and add additional granulated sugar if desired to suit your sweetness preference.
- Tweak Dough Consistency: If the dough feels too soft, gradually add more coconut flour. If it’s too thick, add teaspoons of blueberry puree, water, or almond milk to loosen it up.
- Shape and Chill: Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, place them on a tray, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow them to set and firm up before serving.
Notes
- *Use your preferred protein powder, such as whey, plant-based, or collagen powder.
- **You can substitute granulated sugar with alternatives like erythritol, stevia, or coconut sugar if desired.
- ***The blueberry puree may impart a slight purple hue; the color intensity depends on the blueberry variety and ripeness.
- Store the protein balls in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
