Almond Joyous Powerballs

January 18, 2017 26 Comments

If I had to pick a favorite candy bar, it would definately be an Almond Joy. I am a loyal coconut, chocolate and almond lover to the end, to me there is no better candy bar combination! Unless were talking cups, then Reese’s take first place. Because chocolate + peanut butter obviously.

Sugar and I broke up years ago so I am always looking for a way to recreate my favorite treats! Powerballs have become just that! If I crave it, you better believe I’ll find a way to make it healthy!

I recently started using XR Systems protein and I am LOVING it! The flavors are phenom and it adds the tastiest addition to all my powerball recipes! Not to mention the ingredients list is beyond impressive and squeaky clean! I highly recommend it if you’re looking for options! You can order here. I also love their fruit and veggie powder for my smoothies!!

These LITTLE NUGGETS are the real deal! So close to an Almond Joy you’ll fall in love at first bite! I love the flavor of the almond butter but feel free to use any other nut butter as needed. Whatever you do DO NOT skip toasting the coconut, it adds a whole new level of YUM! Enjoy!

    I can’t have coconut because of food sensitivities, is there an alternative I can use? Thank you!

      Yes! You could skip it completely and add more nuts or seeds in its place!

    How much is “one scoops of Chico protein? My scooper at home is pretty big, just wondering what the “one scoop” would be equivalent to:) (one cup?)

      Hi Savio,

      One scoop would be equivalent to 1/8 cup. Enjoy!

    On the coconut milk is it the canned stuff or the stuff that’s like almond milk in the refrigerated section?

    What almond extract do you use? I used some generic one I had in the pantry (probably since last Christmas 😆) and it was a little overpowering… still delicious, though! TIA

      You could leave it out and replace with more hemp and chia? It is hard to detect the coconut flavor but adds just the right texture. You may be surprised that you like it!

    Yum! These are just the best! Question for counting macros: any idea how many calories in one powerball?

      Hi! I haven’t done the macros on these yet, but I would guess around 130!

      I like to do a quick broil under the broiler! I leave the oven door cracked and watch it closely! WORKS GREAT!

    These are like candy to me. The BEST protein balls around. And I’ve tried several. Do you have the nutritional value on these by chance?

      I don’t have the nutritional value, sorry. But you could easily add all ingredients to My Fitness Pal for a macro count!

    Can I skip out on the protein powder? Will it still taste the same?

    Just wondering as it is asked on almost every one of your posts why don’t you include the nutritional values especially on protein items.
