Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 15-20 Oreos, crushed
  • 1 cup protein powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Chocolate chips
  • Nuts
  • Coconut

Instructions

  1. Crush Oreos: Place the Oreos in a large zip-lock bag or food processor and crush them finely until they resemble coarse crumbs.
  2. Combine with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the crushed Oreos until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Add Protein Powder: Gradually stir in the protein powder to the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly to avoid lumps.
  4. Adjust Consistency with Milk: Slowly add the milk one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously until a dough-like consistency forms that is soft but holds together when rolled.
  5. Flavor and Mix-Ins: Mix in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and any optional add-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut for added texture and taste.
  6. Shape and Chill: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls using your hands, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm up.
  7. Optional Coating: For an extra touch, roll the chilled balls in additional crushed Oreo crumbs or shredded coconut before serving.

Notes

  • Use plant-based cream cheese and a vegan protein powder for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Store the protein balls refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Enjoy these chilled protein balls cold straight from the fridge for a fudgy, creamy texture.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite add-ins like nuts or mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
