Cookies and Cream Oreo Protein Balls
makes 10 protein balls
Ingredients
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener , or other granulated sugar of choice*
- 6 Tbsp cream cheese of choice (6 Tbsp is about 3 oz)**
- 4 oreo cookies, crushed
- 3-4 Tbsp white chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together (except the white chocolate). Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water, or almond milk if the dough is too thick*
- Roll the batter into tablespoon sized balls, refrigerate for 15 minutes to set
- Optional: melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over the protein balls
Notes
*While you can use any granulated sugar of choice, I used a sugar-free substitute monk fruit sweetener (erythritol was also ok) for a lower carb option. You can also omit the sugar if you don't mind the protein balls being less sweet.
**You can use low fat or vegan (almond milk) cream cheese
***I used a plant-based protein powder. Whey protein powder also works, but the result was gummier.
****UPDATE 3/14/22: doubled the serving size on this recipe card so you can make more :)
