# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like dessert but pack 5 grams of protein per bite
  • The texture is somewhere between cheesecake and truffle
02 -
  • Over-mixing the blueberries turns your beautiful purple dough into gray mush
  • The dough firms up significantly after chilling, so dont worry if it feels soft initially
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your protein powder since scoops can vary wildly between brands
  • Let your cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes before starting to avoid overworking your arm muscles
