Tips and Tricks for Perfect Results

Pro Chef Tips

To ensure your Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites have a perfect consistency, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients. Moreover, if the mixture feels too dry, add a tablespoon of almond milk to reach the desired consistency.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid over-mixing once the blueberries are added to prevent them from bursting and turning the mixture purple. Additionally, be sure to freeze the bites long enough so they hold their shape.
