Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, honey, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir carefully to avoid mashing the blueberries.
  2. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you prefer a firmer texture, bake the protein bites for 10-12 minutes until slightly firm and lightly golden.
  4. Once baked, allow the protein bites to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with additional blueberries if desired.
  5. Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Bites immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
