Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a zip-top bag and rolling pin or a food processor, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature; if short on time, microwave in 10-second bursts for 20-30 seconds.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with crushed Oreos until well-blended, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually incorporate protein powder, add milk if needed, and mix until a dough-like consistency is achieved, about 2-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in optional mix-ins like chia seeds or chocolate chips, mixing until evenly distributed, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Shape mixture into balls, placing each on a parchment-lined tray, taking about 5-7 minutes to form all.
  7. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least one hour or freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
  8. Optionally roll chilled balls in extra crushed Oreos or toppings for added appeal, about 2-3 minutes.
