1-First step: Make the blueberry puree Start by mashing or blending the blueberries until you have 1/4 cup blueberry puree. Fresh or frozen blueberries both work, so use what you have. For the brightest color and a little extra zing, stir in a splash of lemon juice while you mash or blend. This helps the berries stay vivid instead of turning dull during mixing. If your blueberries are very juicy, let the puree sit for a minute or two so you can see the texture. You want a thick puree, not a watery one. If the mixture gets too thin later, the dough may need extra coconut flour to balance it out.

2-Second step: Mix the dough by hand Place the protein powder, coconut flour, blueberry puree, and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix everything by hand until a dough starts to form. Hand mixing works best here because you can feel the texture and stop before the mixture gets too dry or too sticky. The dough should feel soft, but it should also hold together when pressed. If it seems crumbly, add a little more cream cheese. If it feels too soft, add a bit more coconut flour. This part is where brand differences matter, since some protein powders absorb more liquid than others.

3-Third step: Adjust the sweetness and texture Taste the dough before shaping it. Add the 3 tablespoons granulated sugar of choice if you want a sweeter bite, or use your sugar substitute if you are keeping things lower carb. Mix again until the sweetness is even throughout the dough. If the dough is too thick, add 1 teaspoon water, almond milk, or more blueberry puree. If it is too soft, sprinkle in more coconut flour a little at a time. The goal is a soft dough that is easy to roll, but not sticky enough to cling to your hands in a messy way.

4-Fourth step: Roll into balls Scoop the dough and roll it into tablespoon-sized balls. You should get about 12 balls from this batch. If you want them a little more uniform, use a small cookie scoop first, then roll them between your palms. Try to keep each ball about the same size so the texture and nutrition stay consistent from piece to piece. If the dough sticks to your hands, lightly dampen your palms or dust them with a tiny bit of coconut flour.

5-Final step: Chill and serve Place the rolled balls on a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate them for 15 minutes to set. This short chill time helps them firm up so they hold their shape better when served or packed for later. The total prep time is about 10 minutes, with no cook time and about 25 minutes total including refrigeration. Once chilled, they are ready to eat right away. They make a handy snack for afternoon hunger, lunchbox treats, or a fast dessert after dinner.
