Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (freshly grated)

1/4 cup granola of your choice (for added crunch)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and freshly grated lemon zest.

      - Using an electric mixer on medium speed, blend the mixture until it is smooth, creamy, and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

        Wash and Dry the Blueberries:

          - Gently rinse the fresh blueberries under cold running water to clean them.

            - After washing, place them on a paper towel or a clean kitchen cloth and pat them dry carefully to eliminate excess moisture.

              Assemble the Bites:

                - Take a dry blueberry and dip it into the cream cheese mixture. You can use a toothpick for easier handling or your fingers if you're comfortable.

                  - Once coated, roll the blueberry in the granola until it is fully covered.

                    - For an indulgent touch, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, then drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the granola-coated blueberries.

                      Chill the Bites:

                        - Arrange the prepared blueberry bites on a tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

                          - Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up and the flavors to meld.

                            Garnish and Serve:

                              - Just before serving, add a fresh mint leaf on top of each blueberry bite for an appealing visual touch and a hint of refreshing flavor.

                                - Serve chilled and relish in the delightful taste of your homemade blueberry bliss bites!
