Description

Cream Cheese Oreo Protein Balls are a delicious and easy-to-make no-bake snack that combines the creamy texture of softened cream cheese with the crunch of crushed Oreos and a boost of protein powder. These protein-packed treats are perfect for a quick snack or a post-workout energy bite, with optional add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut to customize the flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Mix-ins

  • Chocolate chips
  • Nuts
  • Coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Crush Oreos: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese and stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Protein Powder: Gradually add the protein powder to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to integrate it evenly into the dough.
  4. Adjust Consistency: Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk a little at a time to reach a thick but moldable dough consistency.
  5. Add Flavors and Mix-ins: Stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut flakes as desired.
  6. Form Balls and Chill: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them on a tray. Chill them in the refrigerator for about one hour until firm.
  7. Optional Coating: Before serving, optionally roll the protein balls in additional crushed Oreo crumbs or shredded coconut for an attractive coating and extra texture.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too sticky, chill slightly before rolling to make shaping easier.
  • Use a high-quality protein powder that complements the flavor, such as vanilla or chocolate.
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use vegan protein powder.
  • Customize with your favorite mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and taste.
