WHY I LOVE THIS OREO SHAKE
It’s creamy and feels indulgent: I might be biased, but it felt like I was drinking an Oreo milkshake from Burger King. Thick, creamy and packed with Oreo flavor.
Healthy (ish): This protein shake is just 337 calories, with 28g protein, 35g carbs and 20 grams of sugar. Compare that to most Oreo milkshakes with 600+ calories, 93g carbs, 50g sugar and only 9g protein.
A delicious way to increase overall protein intake: A higher total protein intake has been shown to assist with weight loss and maintenance, while promoting muscle protein synthesis. While I don’t love to drink my calories, sometimes a protein shake is a quick and easy way to consume more protein.
Ingredients
*3-4 Oreo Sandwich Cookies, depending on how much Oreo flavor you want. I used 4 Oreos, and that is what the nutritional information is based upon.
*1/2 cup of preferred milk. I used skim milk, which also added some additional protein.
*1/2 cup of water. To keep the calories a little lower, I combined water and milk. However, you could just sub the water with more milk.
*1 Scoop Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder. It’s important that you like the taste of your protein powder! I used a vanilla protein powder for this recipe. I recommend a powder that has minimal ingredients and has been third-party tested.
*5-6 ice cubes, depending on how thick you like your protein shakes.
*Whipped Cream. What’s an Oreo shake without whipped cream on top?
Chia seeds (optional): Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber and omega-3’s! Flaxseeds or hemp hearts could be substituted, however, they are not as high in fiber.

What makes it stand out is how it combines the classic Oreo cookie taste with nutritious ingredients to deliver a satisfying yet healthier treat. One key factor is its balance of macros—containing 28 grams of protein while keeping calories moderate at 337. Compared to typical Oreo milkshakes that can pack more than 600 calories and high sugar content, this shake provides a cleaner, more nutrient-dense alternative. The use of protein powder is essential for achieving that high protein content.

Combining skim milk and water helps keep the calorie count controlled while maintaining creaminess and flavor. The option to add chia seeds also enhances the shake’s fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content, supporting digestive health and heart wellness. Alternatives like flaxseeds or hemp hearts can be used but are lower in fiber compared to chia seeds. Additionally, the texture of this drink is thick and creamy due to the ice cubes and milk combination, giving it that indulgent feel similar to an Oreo milkshake from a fast food restaurant. Topping it with whipped cream adds an extra treat factor without overwhelming the nutritional benefits when used sparingly. Drinking this shake can be a practical way to help with weight management and muscle maintenance by increasing your overall protein intake throughout the day.
