These creamy, protein-packed cheesecake bites combine fresh blueberries with a smooth blend of cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese for a quick, nourishing snack perfect for clean eating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat or light)
  • ½ cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt (120 g)
  • ½ cup small curd cottage cheese (120 g)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30 g), clean whey or plant-based
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (150 g), rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup almond flour (28 g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (15 ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a small bowl, combine almond flour, chia seeds (if using), and melted coconut oil. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of each cavity in a mini muffin tin or silicone mold. Set aside.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until completely smooth with no lumps.
  3. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in about ¾ of the fresh blueberries using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
  4. Assemble the bites: Spoon the filling evenly over the prepared almond flour base in each mold, filling almost to the top. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top.
  5. Chill and set: Cover the molds with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.
  6. Serve: Gently pop the bites out of the molds. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. Use a gentle folding technique when adding blueberries to prevent crushing. If bites are too soft after chilling, add more almond flour to the base or chill longer. For dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with vegan cream cheese, Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt, and use plant-based protein powder and coconut oil. Fresh blueberries preferred but frozen can be used if thawed and drained well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
