Blueberry Almond Protein Bites
These Blueberry Almond Protein Bites are incredibly tasty and the most perfect healthier sweet treat, thanks to the fun blueberry flavored blueberry almonds. My kiddos loved them, my husband devoured them and I couldn’t keep my fingers out of the batter!
As the dreaded back-to-school time nears closer, I’m focused on coming up with easy, portable, nutritious snacks that are kid-friendly. Only four ingredients of no baked goodness, these Blueberry Almond Protein Bites will be a snack that I will make again and again.
With plenty of protein, healthy fats and natural sugars the kiddos can keep their thinking caps on and plugging away and we can fuel up pre or post-workout. The nuts and dates will give you plenty of energy and the protein powder gives these babies same major staying power!
These Blueberry Almond Protein Bites are:
naturally sweetened
super satisfying
gluten-free and vegan
easy as can be
and really yummy!
Blue Diamond Almonds are perfect for creating a myriad of different flavored protein bites. The oven roasted blueberry almonds are one of my favorite varieties, but I can’t wait to try different flavors. Next up, the toasted coconut or can you even imagine the deliciousness of Sea Salted Caramel?!?!

Can’t wait to make these. I wonder, though, about what’s in the flavored almonds. What about using plain almonds and maybe dried blueberries or cherries (no sugar). And, if my protein powder isn’t vanilla, do you think I should add a bit of vanilla extract to the recipe?
Thanks!
I bet these are yummy, it would be great if I could get my kids to eat these instead of gummy bears…
They are and my son actually liked them!
