For the Protein Balls

  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Optional Mix-Ins (nuts, coconut) Customize as desired.

Equipment

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by crushing the Oreos into fine crumbs. Place about 15-20 Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them into a fine powder.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes or microwaving it on low for 10-15 seconds.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crushed Oreos. Mix until cohesive, then gradually add protein powder.
  4. Scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into smooth balls. This recipe yields around 12-15 balls.
  5. Place the formed protein balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least one hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
  6. Optionally, roll chilled protein balls in extra crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut for enhanced flavor.
