Method
 

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Bites
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, honey, almond flour, vanilla extract, and just a pinch of salt. Gently fold the ingredients together to keep the blueberries intact and avoid mushiness.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes. This step firms up the mixture, making it easier to scoop and shape your bites.
  3. Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll them into tight balls. Place each bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for a nice presentation.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the bites for 8-10 minutes until they are slightly firm to the touch but not browned. If you prefer them chilled, skip this step and enjoy them fresh out of the fridge.
  5. Once cooled (if baked), drizzle with honey and garnish with additional blueberries or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an appealing finish.
