Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener (or other granulated sugar of choice)
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed (can use gluten free)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp cream cheese (about 3 oz)
Optional
- 3–4 Tbsp white chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, crushed Oreo cookies, and cream cheese until you achieve a uniform dough. Adjust the texture as needed by adding more coconut flour if it’s too soft or a teaspoon of water or almond milk if it’s too thick.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls, ensuring they are compact and even. Place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the protein balls for about 15 minutes to firm up and set properly.
- Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt the white chocolate chips gently and drizzle over the chilled protein balls for an extra creamy, sweet finish. Allow the drizzle to harden before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute monk fruit sweetener with any sugar or sweetener of your choice.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Oreo cookies.
- Adjust the dough consistency by adding coconut flour or a small amount of liquid as needed.
- Store protein balls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
- These bites are perfect for a quick snack or post-workout energy boost.
