# How to Prepare:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare a silicone mini muffin mold for easy removal later.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until a uniform dough forms.
03 - Divide the base mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place on the prepared tray.
04 - In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup (or honey), lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
05 - In a small saucepan, heat blueberries and maple syrup (or honey) over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, mashing gently, until a thick compote forms. Let cool completely.
06 - Flatten each base ball slightly, top with a spoonful of cheesecake mixture, then add a small swirl of blueberry compote.
07 - Refrigerate the bites for at least 1 hour to set before serving.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • No oven required and they come together in under 20 minutes of active work
  • Each bite packs protein without feeling like youre eating something from a gym bag
  • The blueberry compote adds such a stunning visual pop and bright tartness
02 -
  • Let the blueberry compote cool slightly before swirling or it will melt the cheesecake filling
  • Room temperature cream cheese whips much smoother than cold, preventing lumpy filling
  • These really do need that full hour of chilling to hold their shape when you bite into them
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure perfectly equal portions for the bases
  • If the protein powder tastes chalky, let the filling sit for 10 minutes before assembling
