Almond Joy No-Bake Protein Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup natural almond butter
• ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 scoops, about 50-60 grams chocolate protein powder
• 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.
