Oreo Protein Bites
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup AstroFlav IsoMix Whey Protein Isolate in French Vanilla
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp 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)
Directions:
1. Using a sharp knife, chop Oreo cookies finely until you achieve the consistency of oreo cookie crumb "flour".
2. In a large bowl, mix the protein powder, coconut flour, and sugar together.
3. Add the cream cheese and cookie crumbs to the dry ingredients.
4. Mix together until evenly mixed. You can add 1-2 tbsp of milk or almond milk if the mixture is too thick.
5. Roll into tablespoon sized balls and drizzle with melted white chocolate (optional). If you choose to use the white chocolate, melt in a microwave safe bowl by microwaving white chocolate chips in thirty second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
6. Place in fridge for 30 minutes or until chocolate has hardened.
7. Enjoy! Store these protein balls covered in the fridge for 3-5 days.
