🛒 Ingredients
🌱 Just 3 Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 🫐
- 1 cup vegan vanilla protein powder 💪
- ½ cup natural peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter 🥜
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Blueberries
🫐 If using frozen blueberries, thaw them slightly.
Mash the blueberries with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
2️⃣ Mix the Ingredients
🥣 In a medium bowl, combine:

Mix thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms.

🧁 Line a mini muffin tin or silicone mold with paper liners.
Spoon the mixture evenly into each cup.
Press down gently with the back of a spoon to create smooth, compact cups.
