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)
- 3–4 Tbsp white chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, crushed Oreo cookies, and cream cheese. Stir thoroughly to form a dough. Adjust the consistency by adding more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, or a teaspoon or more of water or almond milk if the dough is too thick.
- Form Balls: Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls using your hands.
- Refrigerate: Place the formed balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
- Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over the chilled protein balls for an extra layer of sweetness and decoration.
Notes
- You can substitute monk fruit sweetener with other granulated sweeteners like erythritol or regular sugar if preferred.
- Use gluten-free Oreo cookies if you want a gluten-free version.
- The cream cheese can be full-fat or reduced-fat depending on dietary preference.
- Adjust the dough consistency by adding small amounts of liquid or coconut flour to reach a rollable texture.
- Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
