Equipment
- Food processor or high-powered blender
- Mixing bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Baking sheet or tray
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- Zest of 1 medium lemon
- 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup dried blueberries (or fresh, with adjustments)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions
- Blend the base – Add cottage cheese to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the dough – Add almond flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and sea salt. Blend until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Add fruit – Transfer dough to a mixing bowl. Stir in dried blueberries by hand.
- Shape bites – Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill & set – Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Can be frozen for 1 month (thaw in fridge before eating).
- Sweetness level: Adjust honey to taste—reduce for lower sugar or swap with stevia/monk fruit.
- Texture tip: Fresh blueberries add juiciness but may require extra almond flour to bind.
- Protein boost: Add 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder in place of some almond flour for an even higher protein snack.
- Serving idea: Enjoy straight from the fridge, or crumble over Greek yogurt for a high-protein breakfast bowl.
