Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 scoops protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of cream cheese and 1 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and yogurt on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add 2 scoops of protein powder to the cream cheese mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
Reserve a handful of blueberries and add the rest (around 3/4 cup) into the mixture.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of lemon zest to the bowl.
Gently fold all ingredients together with a spatula until the blueberries are evenly distributed, being careful not to crush the berries.
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
Garnish with the reserved handful of blueberries before serving.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld, if possible.
