Almond Joy Protein Balls

These are seriously my favorite protein balls ever. I have tried a number of different recipes, but I always come back to this one. I usually double the recipe and freeze all of them in a freezer bag so I can open them and grab a few at a time. My boys love them, too.

PROTEIN BALLS

I recently started putting them into these silicone molds to form them. It has made it a lot easier.
