Cream Cheese Oreo Protein Balls (Printable View)

Rich no-bake snack with cream cheese, Oreos, and protein. Ready in 15 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

02 - 1 cup Oreo cookies, crushed (about 10 cookies)

03 - 1 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder

04 - 2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)

05 - 2 tbsp powdered sugar

06 - 1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs

07 - Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate for drizzling

01 - Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth and creamy.

02 - Add the crushed Oreos, protein powder, milk, and powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until a thick, uniform dough forms.

03 - If the mixture is too sticky to handle, add an extra spoonful of protein powder. If too dry and crumbly, add a splash more milk.

04 - Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls using your hands.

05 - Roll each ball in the extra Oreo crumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

06 - Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

07 - Before serving, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

01 -

They taste like dessert but pack 5 grams of protein per ball, so you can actually justify eating two
The no-bake situation means zero oven time and instant gratification when that sweet craving hits hard

02 -

Warm cream cheese is your best friend here; cold cream cheese will fight you every step of the way
The dough needs to be tacky but not gluey, or these will refuse to hold their shape

03 -

Wet your hands slightly before rolling to prevent the dough from sticking to your palms
Freeze the rolled balls for 20 minutes before coating if the crumbs are not sticking well
