Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Cookies and Cream Oreo Protein Balls combine the creamy sweetness of cream cheese with the crunchy texture of crushed Oreos, enhanced by vanilla protein powder and a touch of monk fruit sweetener.

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

  • 34 Tbsp white chocolate chips, melted (optional)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Refrigerate to set: Refrigerate the rolled protein balls for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  4. 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.
