Notes
Ingredient Substitutions:
Milk - For best results, I recommend a creamy, full-fat milk here. If you prefer a dairy milk, I suggest Fairlife whole milk for an added protein boost. Thinner milks like skim milk or unsweetened almond milk would of course work, but may offer less flavor that creamier milks.
Protein - If whey protein isn't your thing, feel free to experiment to find your favorite type of protein powder for this recipe. I also love this chocolate vegan protein powder, and I think it would be a great sub to make this a plant-based protein shake.
Sweetener - Customize the sweetness by choosing between sugar, sugar substitutes, or natural sweeteners like agave or maple syrup.
Recipe Variations:
Chocolate Lover's Delight: Replace the vanilla protein powder with chocolate protein powder for an even more intense chocolatey experience. Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips for an extra treat.
Peanut Butter Bliss: Amp up the protein content and creaminess factor by adding a tablespoon of peanut butter. This variation adds a nutty richness that complements the Oreo flavor perfectly.
Cookies and Cream Extravaganza: For an Oreo overload, blend in a couple more Oreos or use a scoop of cookies and cream protein powder for an extra layer of indulgence.
Whipped Cream Wonderland: Add sugar free whipped cream for a total cookies and cream protein milkshake experience!
Cookie Swap - Use your favorite cookies in this shake!
Cocoa Bliss Shake - Want to skip the added sugar from the Oreos? Sub the cookies with tablespoon of black cocoa powder and adjust the sweetness level to taste. (You may want to add a pinch of salt, too. Helps bring out the cocoa flavor!)
Oreo Protein Ice Cream - for a healthy cookies and cream ice cream experience, put this protein shake in an ice cream maker. Total yum!
Storage:
This Oreo protein shake is best enjoyed fresh for the ultimate creamy texture and rich flavor. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. I love these thermal tumblers for keeping protein shakes in the fridge and taking them on the go.
