No-Bake Lemon Blueberry Protein Bites (Print version)

Bright, chewy lemon blueberry protein bites made with almond flour, plant protein, cashew butter, and dried blueberries.

# Ingredients:

For the bites

01 - 1 cup (96 g) blanched almond flour
02 - 1/2 cup (45 g) vanilla plant-based protein powder
03 - 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
04 - 3/4 cup (180 g) creamy cashew butter
05 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
07 - 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1/2 cup (70 g) dried blueberries
10 - Flaky salt, optional, for finishing

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and fine salt until evenly combined.
02 - Add the cashew butter, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Stir firmly until a thick dough forms with no dry pockets.
03 - Add the dried blueberries and fold gently until evenly distributed through the dough.
04 - Cover and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes so it firms enough to scoop and roll neatly.
05 - Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll into 18 small balls. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky salt if desired.
06 - Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.

# Good to know:

01 - Use dried blueberries for the cleanest texture and easiest rolling.
02 - Protein powders vary, so adjust with almond flour or lemon juice as needed.
03 - Best served chilled.
