Almond Joy Protein Balls

My husband loves Almond Joy candy bars. Like LOVES them. 

And I find that weird because those were always the leftovers when the Halloween candy has been picked over for a month, and then just eventually thrown away :)

BUT I think he's actually onto something because these Almond Joy protein balls are SO GOOD, I think I'd pick them first too. 

So even if Almond Joys aren't your thing, I highly recommend giving these protein balls a shot because they just might change your mind...

Almond Joy Protein Balls
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1 Tbls. cocoa powder
2 scoops chocolate protein powder (FASTer Way is my favorite!)
2 Tbls. mini chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
1 cup natural almond butter (crunchy or creamy works!)
1/2 cup honey

Add oats and chia seeds to a blender and pulse until there are some whole oats remaining. (The blending part is optional, but I recommend!) Pour into a mixing bowl and add coconut, cocoa powder, protein powder and mini chocolate chips. Mix well. Add almond butter and honey and stir until well combined. Scoop into balls (mine made 36) and ENJOY! 

I store these in the fridge or freezer and enjoy one at a time for several days!
