Ingredients

Scale

18 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp milk, if needed for texture
Optional: ½ cup melted dark or white chocolate for coating

Instructions

Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or sealed bag.
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos, cream cheese, protein powder, and vanilla extract.
Mix until fully combined. Add 1–2 tablespoons milk if mixture feels too dry.
Roll into bite-sized balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
Chill for 1 hour until firm.
Optional: Dip chilled balls into melted chocolate and return to fridge until set.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Chill time is essential for a firm texture—plan for 60 minutes.
Coating with dark or white chocolate is optional but adds flavor and a glossy finish.
Can substitute regular cream cheese with lactose-free version if needed.
