Have you ever wanted to take a bite into that heavenly slice of dessert, without that feeling of guilt hitting you right afterwards? Well dreams come true with my High-Protein Lemon-Blueberry Bites! Here’s how you make ‘em:

 

INGREDIENTS: 

BITES

6 egg whites

1 whole egg

4 scoops vanilla protein powder

2 tbsp vanilla extract

250 g light ricotta with whey

cheese

½ cup Splenda

Zest from one lemon

½ cup blueberries

 

TOPPING

½ cup blueberries

½ cup water

 

1 tsp Splenda

 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Combine egg whites and omega-3 egg

in a bowl and whisk. Add protein powder, one scoop at a time, mixing throughout.

 

Place this mixture into a blender and blend on medium speed to create smoother consistency.

Add vanilla and continue blending for 10 seconds.

Next, mix 250 g ricotta cheese and Splenda in a bowl. Then, take the egg-protein mixture and pour into the ricotta mixture, mixing together. Add the zest from lemon and the blueberries, and mix all together.

 

Pour the entire mixture into a large ramekin, 15cm in diameter.

Fill a deep baking pan half-full with hot water and place the ramekin inside of the oven pan so that the water comes approximately half way up the outside of the ramekin containing the berry and ricotta mixture.

Place the baking pan containing the ramekin into the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until slightly firm to the touch.

 

Once finished, take out of the oven and place the ramekin onto a wire rack to cool. When cool to the touch, place in the fridge over night.

To make blueberry topping, blend blueberries, water and Splenda.

 

To serve, use a cookie cutter to cut circular shapes out of the mixture in the ramekin, and drizzle blueberry topping over top.

 

 

Makes 4 servings.
