Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup chocolate protein powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped almonds (plus extra for garnish)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 1/2 cup of honey (or maple syrup), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and well blended, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix thoroughly until all dry ingredients are fully integrated.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir continuously until everything is fully incorporated and a thick, dough-like texture forms.

        Fold in Add-Ins: Carefully fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of chopped almonds using a spatula. Ensure the chocolate chips and almonds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Form Balls: Take small portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into balls using your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

            Chill: After forming all the balls, put the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes. This will allow the Almond Joy Bliss Bites to firm up and hold their shape.

              Garnish (Optional): For an added decorative touch, roll each chilled energy ball in a small amount of shredded coconut or finely chopped almonds right before serving.

                Serve & Enjoy: Once firm, your Almond Joy Bliss Bites are ready to indulge in! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
