Protein Bite Blueberry Recipe
This 2-ingredient protein bite blueberry recipe is easy to make and wildly nutritious.
White beans are full of protein, fiber and a slew of other nutritional benefits. These include potassium and iron; thiamine for a boost to your cognitive abilities; heart-supporting folate and magnesium, and copper to fight inflammation.
How Healthy are Blueberries?
Meanwhile, blueberries are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. They are high in antioxidants and great for weight-loss. Blueberries also support brain health, reduce inflammation, ease digestion and contribute to heart health.
Therefore, these two are the perfect match to create these energizing blueberry smoothie bites!
I choose to use organic canned beans though I’m sure freshly cooked beans would work as well.
If you use canned, be sure to use organic, to be sure the beans don’t have additional ingredients. And I choose unsalted so I can control the sodium.
How To Make This Protein Bite Blueberry Recipe
Easy, just open a can of BP-free, organic white beans, rinse and add to a blender. Add the blueberries and lemon or lime juice and blend! Pour into silicon molds of any shape and freeze overnight. We love to keep a stash of these in the freezer and pop them during the 3 pm slump!
