These No-Bake Almond Joy Energy Balls are inspired by the ever popular Almond Joy chocolate bar but without all the gunk! They pack a serious nutrition punch and are also gluten-free, vegan AND paleo.

Here's what you need: – Dates  – Almonds – Unsweetened cocoa powder  – Coconut flakes  – Sea salt  – Vanilla extract  – Almond milk

Process the coconut flakes in a food processor for about one minute – you just want to break them up a bit. Remove the flakes and set aside in a bowl.

Place the dates in the food processor and process until they have broken up and come together in a big, sticky ball.

Break up the date ball a bit with your hands and then add in the almonds, cocoa powder, the coconut flakes you didn’t process and salt. Process for several minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add in the vanilla extract and almond milk and process until the mixture comes together in a ball. If it doesn’t do this, add in another tablespoon of almond milk.
