2-Ingredient Blueberry Protein Bites
White beans are full of protein, fiber and a slew of other nutritional benefits, including potassium and iron, good for shiny hair among other effects; thiamine for a boost to your cognitive abilities; heart-supporting folate and magnesium, and copper to fight inflammation and antioxidants galore.
How Healthy are Blueberries?
And blueberries are considered the most nutritious food on the planet, high in antioxidants, weightloss-booster, brain health supporter, inflammation reducer, and a booster to digestion and heart health.
What a perfect match for an energizing snack! I chose 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 chose unsalted so I could control the sodium.
I hope you are enjoying my recipes using white beans, they really are such a perfect white palate for nutritious easy recipe.

2-Ingredient Blueberry Protein Bites
Ingredients
- 1 can (15oz/425gms) white beans (navy beans, organic & precooked - I have used Eden and Whole Foods 365 brand)
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Rinse the white beans, and wash the berries, and pop them both in the blender.
- Blend up until creamy. Add some water if your blender asks you to loosen it up. (Yes, my blender (Blendtec - Designer series) talks to me, haha!)
- Pour into molds or mini cupcakes papers, freeze an hour (or longer depending on your freezer temperature) and then eat! Keep frozen until ready to eat, and ours lasted at least 3 days.
