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!

Ingredients for Lemon Blueberry Protein Sweet Rolls

This healthy lemon blueberry protein sweet recipe has no yeast, just a few simple ingredients, and is perfect for a breakfast, post workout or even quick snack.

Here’s what you need for the perfect protein blueberry breakfast rolls:

For the Protein Swirl Roll Dough

• Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• Unflavored Whey-Caesin Protein Powder to replace some of the flour and make a low calorie high protein cinnamon roll.
  I recommend the Multi-purpose mix protein powder from Quest Nutrition.
• Vanilla Whey-Caesin Protein Powder to sweeten the cinnamon roll dough without the sugar; I used Whey-Caesin Quest Nutrition.
• Non-fat Greek Yogurt
• Lemon Juice
• Lemon Zest
• Baking Powder; No yeast here

The filling for Low Calorie Sweet Rolls

• Fresh Blueberries
• Some Water
• Vanilla Protein Powder. I used ProteinWorld Slender Blend but ProteinWorld Whey is a great options too. Code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount on both.
• Some Butter

And the Protein Powder Icing

• Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
• A bit of Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Vanilla Protein Powder. I used ProteinWorld Slender Blend but ProteinWorld Whey is a great options too. Code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount on both.
  

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!

Alternates for Healthy Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls with Protein Powder

I recommend making this healthy, high protein low calorie blueberry sweet roll recipe using the ingredients and products listed – especially the protein powder since it gives the best results.

If you need other options for the flours and such, here’s some alternatives for healthy berry breakfast rolls:

• 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour: All purpose flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour in the same weight not cups.
• Unflavored Protein Powder: More flour (by cups); Also use a bit less yogurt (maybe just 1 cup)
• Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt (this might take longer to cook)

To make this a Vegan protein blueberry swirl rolls recipe, use some of the alternate ingredients mentioned above.

I haven’t tried this out myself, so I’m not sure how this would turn out.

  ProteinWorld has a Vegan protein blend that you could try (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here).
