Imagine velvety white chocolate and coconut butter melted together into a ganache wrapped around tangy, fruity blueberry chunks. These bites are melt-in-your-mouth good and have a perfect balance of rich sweetness and tartness. They are the kind of treat that feels like a special dessert, yet they are easy to whip up and perfect for gifting or enjoying all to yourself.

They are creamy, dreamy, and just a little bit fancy. And trust me, once you bite into one, you will understand why they are totally worth making. They are smooth, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgent, with a hint of real fruit flavor that’s nothing short of magical.

I’ve been on a big blueberry-lemon kick recently and these little protein bites are bursting with fresh flavors. They are the perfect mid-morning pick-me-up and even wonderful as dessert. They can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes and keep well in the fridge for up to a week (although they never last that long!)

Plus, these little bites freeze perfectly, making them the perfect prep-ahead treat!

Raise your hand if you have ever wanted to eat cookie type snacks for breakfast. I know that I have on many different occasions. If you ask me, I believe that cookies are the perfect type of food any time of day, and that includes for breakfast, too. And since I am a believer in intuitive eating – aka listening to our body’s natural hunger cues and eating what we want when we want it – I’ve been known to have a cookie or two for breakfast sometimes, and I hold zero regrets about it.

But while all of the cookie recipes you will find here on Blended Bites are both delicious and healthy sometimes, we want a breakfast that is not only going to satisfy our cravings, but will also give us the energy we need to power through our day. Enter, my Coconut White Chocolate Blueberry Protein Bites.

These small-but-mighty bites taste just like delicious lemon blueberry cookies, are in ball form and loaded with protein, healthy fats, and carbs, giving you everything that you need to start your day off on the right foot.

Ingredients

Coconut Butter White Chocolate Ganache

  • 1/2 cup coconut butter, store bought or sugar free recipe below in notes
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder, plain or vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blueberry Jam

  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest

Topping Optional – choose one, multi or none

  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried blueberries, crushed into powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Make the blueberry compote first.
    Place half the blueberries (1 cup) honey, water and lemon juice and zest into a small saucepan and gently simmer for 8 minutes stirring occasionally. The blueberries breakdown and release their juices (about 5–7 minutes).
    Add the remaining 1 cup blueberries and cook a further 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want some big chunks of blueberries remaining.
    Remove from the heat. The mixture will become thick and jammy as it cools.

Coconut Butter White Chocolate Ganache

  • Place coconut butter and chocolate chips in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the coconut butter and chocolate chips together.
    Let the mixture cool to room temperature then scoop out small portions and roll them into small (12 or more) balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    Create a hole or well inside each one with your finger or the end of a wooden spoon and insert a teaspoon (or more) of the blueberry compote into each one.
    Mold the coconut butter chocolate mixture around the berry compote so you have a little berry center in each one and the berry mixture is completely covered.
    Or for a simpler method, add the blueberry compote to the coconut butter chocolate mixture, stirring briefly to create a swirl effect. The create your balls from there.
    Roll in your chosen topping and if desired, decorate with fresh blueberries on top of each protein ball.
    Serve chilled and enjoy!
