Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener (or other granulated sugar of choice)
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed (can use gluten-free)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp cream cheese of choice (about 3 oz)
Optional
- 3–4 Tbsp white chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, cream cheese, and crushed Oreo cookies. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms. Adjust the dough consistency by adding a bit more coconut flour if too soft, or a teaspoon or more of water or almond milk if too thick.
- Shape the dough: Roll the batter into tablespoon-sized balls using your hands or a scoop. Place the formed balls on a plate or tray.
- Refrigerate to set: Refrigerate the rolled protein balls for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Optional white chocolate drizzle: If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled protein balls for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.
Notes
- The dough consistency is key; adjust with coconut flour or liquid to achieve a rollable texture.
- Gluten-free Oreo cookies can be used to make the recipe gluten-free.
- You can substitute monk fruit sweetener with other granulated sugars or sweeteners as preferred.
- Keep the protein balls refrigerated until serving for best texture and freshness.
- For variation, you can try different flavored protein powders or mix-ins.
