Healthy Almond Joy Protein Truffles

Making protein truffles is officially my favorite way to use protein powder.

If you love the combination of chocolate and coconut, think Almond Joy candy bars, then do yourself a favor and make these! You're future self will thank you, I promise.

5 Things you've got to know about these truffles:

1. Chewy, rich, chocolatey decadence in every bite
2. They take about 5 minutes to make (you have to refrigerate for an hour though)
3. Tooooons of refreshing coconut flavor
4. Each truffle is only 45 calories
5. Did I mention they're chock-full of healthy fats

*There was a mistake in the video it says 1 ⅔ tablespoon shredded coconut and was supposed to say servings. This roughly translates to 22g of shredded coconut.

The ½ tablespoon of shredded coconut was supposed to say ½ serving as well. This roughly translates to 8g of coconut.
