Some recipes just check every box. Simple, nourishing, no baking required, and the perfect balance between sweet and satisfying. These No Bake Wild Blueberry Protein Bars are exactly that.

They’re made with whole food ingredients, naturally sweetened, and packed with plant-based protein. I like having them as a quick breakfast when I’m on the go or as a light dessert that doesn’t feel overly indulgent. The crust is actually my go-to base for protein bites, so it’s a familiar favorite.

You can store these bars in the fridge, but I recommend keeping them in the freezer to hold the shape of the creamy filling. Just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.

What You’ll Need

This recipe has two layers. A soft, chewy crust and a creamy blueberry topping.

Bottom Crust Layer
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
1/2 cup nuts of your choice
4 pitted dates
1 tablespoon nut butter
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt flakes

Cream Filling
1 cup coconut cream or yogurt of your choice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 cup frozen wild blueberries

How to Make Them

Step 1: Prepare the crust
Add all the crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse until well combined. The mixture should stick together when pressed. Line a small pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom.

Step 2: Mix the filling
In a bowl, stir together the coconut cream or yogurt, maple syrup, and frozen wild blueberries. Spoon the mixture over the crust and spread it evenly.

Step 3: Freeze and slice
Place the pan in the freezer for about one hour, or until the bars are set. Once frozen, remove and slice into six to eight bars depending on your preferred size.

Why I Love These Bars

They come together quickly with ingredients I usually have on hand. The wild blueberries add a deep, natural sweetness and a beautiful color, while the crust provides texture and a hint of salt to balance the flavors. The protein powder makes them more filling and helps turn them into a great breakfast option, especially on busy mornings.

Because they’re no bake, they’re also easy to prep ahead and keep stored for when you need a quick bite that feels homemade and satisfying.
