Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries, thawed)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1/4 cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Use a whisk or spoon to thoroughly stir the dry ingredients, ensuring they are well blended and evenly distributed.

    Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Combine the Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until just combined. The resulting mixture should be sticky and cohesive. If it appears too dry or crumbly, add a splash of water or an additional scoop of nut butter to achieve the desired consistency.

        Incorporate the Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh or thawed blueberries into the mixture with a spatula or spoon. Take care not to mash the blueberries too much; you want to keep some whole to create delightful bursts of flavor in each bite.

          Shape the Bites: With your hands, scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each formed protein bite onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue this process until all of the mixture has been shaped into bites.

            Refrigerate: Place the baking sheet with the protein bites in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help firm them up and make them easier to handle.

              Serve & Store: Once chilled and set, enjoy your Sweet Blueberry Protein Bites! For any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
