Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Bites
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, honey, almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently combine the ingredients with a spatula for about 5 minutes.
  2. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place each bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. If baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bites for 10-12 minutes until firm and lightly golden at the bottom.
  4. Remove bites from the oven, let them cool for about 5 minutes, and drizzle extra honey on top. Add extra blueberries as garnish if desired.
  5. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
