Begin by placing your Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag or food processor. Crush them gently until they reach a fine crumb texture, leaving a few larger bits for added crunch. Set aside.

Remove your cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, microwave it for 10-15 seconds.

In a large mixing bowl, combine your softened cream cheese with the crushed Oreo cookies. Blend until a smooth mixture forms.

Gradually sprinkle in your choice of protein powder, mixing thoroughly. Add milk if the mixture feels too dry to form into balls.

Using a tablespoon, take portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

Once all balls are shaped, place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Optional: Roll the chilled protein balls in crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut before serving.
