Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1/2 cup protein powder
1/2 cup coconut flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar of choice
4 tablespoons cream cheese (dairy or dairy-free)
1/4 cup blueberry puree

Directions

I mash the blueberries or puree them in a small blender.
I mix the protein powder, coconut flour, blueberry puree, and cream cheese together, using my hands to knead until the dough comes together.
I taste the mixture and add sugar if needed.
If the dough is too soft, I add more coconut flour; if it’s too thick, I mix in a teaspoon or more of puree, water, or almond milk.
I roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls.
I refrigerate them for 15 minutes to set before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 10 to 12 protein balls and takes about 10 minutes to prepare. There’s no cooking required, so it’s ideal for a quick snack on busy days.

Variations

I like to switch up the flavors by using different fruits like raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries. Sometimes I add a splash of lemon juice for brightness or roll the balls in crushed nuts or shredded coconut for added texture. I also enjoy swapping the cream cheese for Greek yogurt for a tangier taste.

storage/reheating

I store these protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well; I just let them thaw a bit before eating. No reheating is needed—they’re best enjoyed chilled.

FAQs

Can I use fresh or frozen blueberries?

Yes, I use either fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, I thaw them first before mashing or pureeing.

What type of protein powder works best?

I prefer using a light-colored protein powder like vanilla or unflavored. Plant-based protein powders work great too.

How do I make these vegan?

I use dairy-free cream cheese and a plant-based protein powder to make the recipe fully vegan.

Can I make these nut-free?

Absolutely. This recipe doesn’t include nuts, but I always check the labels on my ingredients to ensure they’re processed in a nut-free facility if needed.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes, I freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a container. They last up to 1 month in the freezer.

Conclusion

These Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Balls are one of my favorite healthy treats. They’re easy to make, deliciously satisfying, and perfect for a quick energy boost. I love keeping a batch in the fridge for whenever I need a nutritious and tasty snack.
