Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor for a finer texture.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, protein powder, crushed Oreos, almond butter, and honey or maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until smooth and slightly sticky. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach a workable consistency.
  3. Shape the balls: Using your hands, scoop small portions and roll them into 1-inch diameter bite-sized balls. If the dough is sticky and hard to handle, chill for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to firm up before rolling.
  4. Chill and set: Place the shaped protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm and set properly.
  5. Store and enjoy: After chilling, store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within one week for peak freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too sticky, chilling it before rolling will help.
  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter if preferred.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the snack vegan-friendly.
  • The protein balls can be stored in the freezer for up to one month; thaw in the fridge before eating.
  • Adjust protein powder flavor to suit taste—vanilla or chocolate works best.
