Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing about 15 Oreos in a zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them until they resemble coarse crumbs, leaving some small pieces for texture.
  2. Take 8 ounces of cream cheese and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until softened.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the crushed Oreos, stirring until well blended. Gradually add in 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls, each about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Once you’ve formed all the balls, refrigerate them for a minimum of 1 hour.
  6. For an extra touch, consider rolling the chilled protein balls in crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut.
