Ingredients
  

For the Cream Cheese Oreo Protein Balls
  • 1 package Oreo cookies around 14-16 cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup protein powder vanilla or chocolate
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances the flavor
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 1/4 cup crushed Oreos for topping, optional

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Crush the Oreos: Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don't have a processor, no worries! Just put them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
  2. Step 2: Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, protein powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined. If you're feeling indulgent, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  3. Step 3: Form Balls: Scoop out a small amount of the mixture and roll it into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Step 4: Chill: Once all the mixture is rolled into balls, pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up nicely.
  5. Step 5: Add Topping: If you like, roll the chilled protein balls in crushed Oreos for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your Cream Cheese Oreo Protein Balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

These delightful treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just make sure they are well covered to keep them fresh. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper.
