Refreshing and gooey Lemon Blueberry Protein Sweet Rolls with no sugar added. These healthy blueberry sweet rolls use protein powder and Greek yogurt and make a great meal prep breakfast or post workout treat.

That gooeyness really was on point in these lemon blueberry rolls – just like you’d want in a blueberry cinnamon roll.

A bit of a time consuming process with making the protein blueberry jam, letting it cool and then rolling out that lemon sweet roll dough and putting it together.

All worth it though because these were just beautiful!

Tips for Protein Powder Blueberry Sweet Rolls

This really is an easy one, but here’s some pointers for the perfect protein powder blueberry sweet rolls recipe:

Use cold yogurt so that the dough does not get too sticky and hard to roll.

Don’t over-mix the dough or it will get too warm and soft.
Also, the protein powder can make the blueberry cinnamon rolls tough.

Flour the work surface and rolling pin to prevent dough from sticking

Don’t let dough sit out for too long; Work quickly with adding the filling, rolling and baking. You don’t want the dough to get too warm. Keept it in the fridge to cool if you need time.

Spread softened butter on dough so it actually spreads smoothly.

Let the jam cool before spreading it over the dough, or it will make the dough soft.

Roll up the dough tight enough for it to hold, but not so tight that it does not have room to expand.

How to Store Protein Blueberry Rolls

These homemade protein blueberry rolls are perfect for a make ahead breakfast, snack or dessert for the week; and are freezer friendly too!
