Almond Coconut Energy Balls

These energy balls are the perfect snack when you need a midday pick-me-up! Full of chocolate, coconut and almonds, just like your favorite Almond Joy candy

I have always been obsessed with energy balls, bars, and all sorts of sweet treats for mid-day snacks. These bars are perfect for pre-workout energy, or just a snack to get you through the day.

This recipe is super easy, takes 30 minutes total to make, and is really delicious. They are the perfect almond joy flavor, with a fun and healthy twist. It’s hard to stop after just one of these!

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds

• 3/4 cup old fashioned oats

• 3 tbsp coconut oil
