Almond Joy Protein Balls
These almond joy protein balls taste like an almond joy bar, but healthier! One protein ball has 5 grams of protein and only 3 grams of sugar!
Servings: 24 balls
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural almond butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder 50-60 grams
- 1-2 Tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Honey: Maple syrup will work great as a substitute for honey.
- Almond butter: If you’re looking to swap the almond butter with another nut or seed butter you could use cashew butter, peanut butter, tahini or sunflower seed butter.
- Protein powder: The chocolate protein powder is what gives these protein balls that almond joy flavor, but feel free to use your favorite brand and flavor of protein powder for this recipe!
