Protein Oreo Fluff Dessert Recipe

I present my Protein Oreo Fluff Dessert, a unique cheesecake dip twist. Using fat-free cream cheese, tangy Greek yogurt, and vanilla whey protein blended with roughly crushed Oreos and a splash of almond milk, every spoonful offers a balance of lightness, sweetness and protein. A delightful treat with healthier appeal.

I’m excited to share one of my favorite healthy dessert recipes, the Protein Oreo Fluff Dessert. This recipe totally surprised me by being both a spoonable treat and a fun dip for your favorite snacks.

My version uses 8 oz of fat free cream cheese and 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt as a base, which gives it a creamy texture while keeping it low in calories. I also mix in a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder to amp up the nutrition without sacrificing flavor.

To sweeten things up, I add just 2 tbsp of sugar free sweetener and a tsp of vanilla extract. The star of the show, however, is the roughly crushed 10 Oreo cookies that bring a satisfying crunch.

I sometimes tweak the consistency by adding 1-2 tbsp of unsweetened almond milk if I feel it’s too thick. Hope you enjoy this twist on a classic treat while feeling good about every bite.

Why I Like this Recipe

I like this recipe because first off, it tastes amazing even though its not overly sweet. The cream cheese and greek yogurt mix makes it super creamy while the crushed Oreos give it that fun crunch which I love. Also, I really like how healthier it is than most desserts since its low in fat and has more protein so I dont feel bad after eating it. On top of that, its really easy to make and doesn’t require too much time which is perfect for when I just wanna whip up a quick treat. Finally, I love how versatile it is because I can spoon it straight up or use it as a dip for other snacks.

Protein Oreo Fluff Dessert Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For the fat free cream cheese, you can use Neufchatel cheese or even a low fat cream cheese as an alternative.

Pro Tips

1. Let your cream cheese come to room temperature beforehand so when you beat it, it turns out super smooth—nothin’ ruins texture like cold clumps.
2. Be careful when mixing in the protein powder; use a whisk if you have one to avoid lumps, cause they can mess with the overall consistency.
3. When addin the crushed Oreos, gently fold ’em in instead of stirring vigorously so you still get some crunchy bits in every bite.
4. Don’t skip the chill time! Letting it sit in the fridge for at least an hour really helps the flavors get to know each other, and that makes a big difference in taste.
