Step-by-Step
Instructions
1.
Prepare the Base
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats
and protein powder. Mix well to ensure an even base.
2.
Add the Creamy Elements
Add softened cream cheese (or Greek
yogurt), honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Mix until everything starts to come
together into a thick, slightly sticky dough.
3.
Fold in the Blueberries
Gently stir in the blueberries. If
using fresh blueberries, chop them into small pieces to distribute the flavor
evenly.
You can also add lemon zest at this
stage for a bright, tangy twist.
4.
Chill the Mixture
Place the mixture in the
refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes. This helps firm it up and makes it easier
to roll.
5.
Roll into Bliss Balls
Scoop out small portions and roll
them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
If the mixture is too sticky,
lightly grease your hands or dust them with a bit of oats.
6.
Add Optional Coating
Roll the balls in coconut, crushed
nuts, or blueberry powder for extra texture and visual appeal.
7.
Store and Enjoy
Place the finished bliss balls in an
airtight container and refrigerate.
They’re ready to enjoy immediately
or can be stored for later.
