1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat, smooth and creamy base that adds protein and moisture
1/2 cup fresh blueberries whole or roughly chopped for juicy bursts of flavor
1/2 cup almond flour provides structure and a soft, tender texture
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup for gentle natural sweetness
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest delivers vibrant citrus aroma
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice adds brightness and balance
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances overall flavor
1/4 teaspoon salt sharpens sweetness and depth
Optional: 1–2 tablespoons protein powder vanilla or unflavored, for extra protein boost

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking
Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy
Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and stir in honey or maple syrup
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until evenly combined
Gently fold in almond flour until a thick, scoopable batter forms
Carefully fold in blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them
Scoop small portions of batter and roll gently into bite-sized balls using clean hands or a spoon
Place bites on the prepared baking tray with slight spacing between each
Bake until lightly golden and set, with a soft but firm texture
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving or storing
