Almond Joy Protein Balls
5 from 6 votes
An almond joy without all of the extra sugar and calories. Enjoy these almond joy protein balls as a snack or dessert.
Place oats, almond butter, honey, protein powder and shredded coconut in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
I also subbed unsweetened cocoa powder like an earlier commenter and loved the chocolatey taste. Added a couple tablespoons of water and that got it totally workable to roll into balls. I’m a nursing, working mom so having fast one handed snacks that are easy to meal prep are a life saver!
I’m glad these turned out with the cocoa powder instead of the protein powder, Kaitlin. Next time, you can always add a splash of water or milk if the dough seems too dry.
I just made these… so good! I used agave nectar instead of honey. The protein powder: Orgain Creamy Chocolate Fudge. I will be making these again – thank you!
Hi, I was wondering if I can substitute the protein powder with something else? Not really a fan of the protein powder. (Probably because the one I have literally taste like chalky powder and no flavor)
I found that I already have steel cut oats in my cabinets, which I would love to use because I fear otherwise I won’t. Do you know if the measurements might be the same? I will cook first and then follow the recipe the same way.
Ohh I haven’t tried these with steel cut oats, so I’m not exactly sure on the measurements. I would just go off the measurements I listed and see if you need more / less. Let me know how they turn out for you!!

So glad you’re loving these, Hannah! Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it!
These were delicious! I used cocoa powder in place of protein powder and they turned out pretty well! A little crumbly but still delicious.

Hey Yvonne – If you’re not a fan of protein powder, I would try these no bake energy balls instead. 🙂
