Try these SUPER easy and full of protein Oreo protein pots and I'm telling you that you won't be disappointed...unless you're not a fan or oreos (surely this applies to no one?).

These are PERFECT for:

Satisfying that sweet tooth
Eating more protein whilst also sneaking in some yummy oreos
Just general happiness!!

Don't just think that you have to be drinking down endless protein shakes to meet your protein targets- get creative and use protein powders to make fun desserts and snacks!

Now I literally LOVE oreos- what first resembled a burnt cookie then turned out to taste pretty amazing and now has a placed in my heart (or at least my belly). So when thinking about how to incorporate oreos into my current macros, I looked at what they offer as a food (they're very high in carbs mainly and have a moderate amount of fat too) and knew that I would have to include some protein to go with them to make it a snack worth having (I try and have between 25-35g of protein per meal). I believe I've come up with the perfect combination:

Ingredients:

30g vanilla whey protein (I use bulk powders)
30g chocolate whey protein (I use bulk powders)
0% fat free Total yogurt 300g (this one is great for protein as well as 0% fat)
5g cacao powder (cacao powder is less processed than cocoa powder and so you use significantly less whilst still giving that chocolate hit. (I use Sevenhills cacao powder off amazon)
Oreos 6 (+1 for topping) equates to about 56g (I went with normal Oreos but you can also use the thin ones too if you want to be able to add more biscuit).
(optional sweetener e.g. honey, maple syrup 10g)

Instructions:

In a bowl combine the yogurt, protein powders and cacao powder.
Bash up 6 oreos by placing them in a bag and using a rolling pin to break them down into small junks. Stir these in to the yogurt mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal-sized portions in ramekins.
Place in fridge for 30 mins at least, serve with a quarter of a oreo broken and sprinkled on top.

OPTION: If you want Oreo ice cream instead then simply place the ramekins in the freezer for an hour and you've got a perfect high protein ice cream at the ready!
