Ingredients
  

For the Protein Balls
  • 1 package Reduced-Fat Oreos Provides that signature cookies-and-cream flavor; swap for low-carb cookies to reduce sugar.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Adds creaminess and acts as a binder; choose low-fat or vegan alternatives.
  • 1 cup Protein Powder Boosts protein content; opt for plant-based or dairy varieties.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile; can be omitted.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness and intensifies flavors.
  • 2 tbsp Milk Adjusts the mixture's consistency; optional.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the Reduced-Fat Oreos in a zip-top bag. Crush them into fine crumbs for even mixing, or pulse briefly in a food processor.
  2. Take your cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the crushed Oreos. Gradually add in protein powder, mixing after each addition. If too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions and roll into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill the trays in the refrigerator for at least one hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Optionally, roll the balls in extra crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut before serving.
