Ingredients
  

For the Protein Base
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Provides protein and creaminess; substitute with Greek yogurt for a thicker texture or plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option.
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Adds natural sweetness and texture; ensure they are firm and fresh to avoid mushiness.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Zest Imparts a refreshing tang; use more zest for a stronger lemon flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Acts as a natural sweetener; substitute with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds depth of flavor; ensure it's pure for the best taste.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor; a pinch is sufficient.
For the Bulk
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Gives structure and a nutty flavor; coconut flour can be used for a lower-carb option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, honey, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently fold until well-combined.
  2. Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15–20 minutes until slightly firm but still pliable.
  3. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and scoop out portions, rolling them into tight balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Optionally, preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake the bites for 8–10 minutes until slightly firm.
  5. Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
