1-First Step: Make the blueberry puree Start by mashing or pureeing fresh blueberries until you have 1/4 cup blueberry puree. If you want a brighter color, add a small splash of lemon juice before mashing. This helps the berries keep a vivid color and gives the filling a fresher taste. It also helps balance the creamy flavor from the cream cheese.

2-Second Step: Mix the base ingredients by hand Place the 1/2 cup protein powder, 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup blueberry puree, and 4 tablespoons cream cheese into a medium bowl. Mix by hand until the ingredients come together and form a dough. Using your hands works best here because you can feel the texture as it changes and stop before it becomes too dry or too sticky. If the mixture looks a little soft, add more coconut flour a teaspoon at a time. If it seems too thick, add a small splash of almond milk until it comes together.

3-Third Step: Add sweetness if desired Stir in the 3 tablespoons granulated sugar of choice if you want a sweeter snack. Some protein powders are already sweet, so taste the dough first if you are unsure. You can also reduce the sugar if you prefer a lighter snack or if your blueberry puree is very ripe and naturally sweet.

4-Fourth Step: Check the texture The dough should be soft enough to roll but firm enough to hold its shape. If it feels sticky, add a little more coconut flour. If it breaks apart, add a tiny bit more cream cheese or a few drops of liquid. This step matters because protein powders vary, and some absorb more moisture than others.

5-Fifth Step: Roll into balls Scoop the dough into small portions and roll them between your palms until smooth. This recipe makes about 10 to 12 balls, depending on the size you choose. For even portions, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon.

6-Final Step: Chill until firm Place the balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for 15 minutes to firm up. This short chill helps the texture set and makes them easier to grab and eat. Once chilled, they are ready to serve right away.
