No-Bake Almond Joy Protein Balls

Makes 30 balls

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup all natural almond butter
• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats (gluten-free)
• 1/3 cup raw honey, or pure maple syrup *Note: Sometimes I add a bit LESS sweetener & they are still WONDERFUL!
• 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
• 2 scoops chocolate or vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 Tbs unsweetened cacao powder
• 2 Tbs slivered, or crushed almonds (optional)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 Tbsp melted, unrefined Coconut oil (optional)
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate/cacao chips (optional).  I love Lily’s brand sweetened with stevia found on Amazon: CleanFoodCrush.com/lilys

Instructions:

Combine in large bowl

Use your hands to combine well, and form into 1 inch round balls.

Keep them refrigerated or frozen. – I prefer these frozen!

Enjoy!
