Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond Joy Protein Balls
  1. Combine the base ingredients in a bowl: almond butter, rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chocolate protein powder. Mix in honey and vanilla extract until sticky.

  3. Fold in chopped almonds and dark chocolate pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop out mixture and roll into balls about 1-inch in diameter, shaping 12-15 balls and placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.
