These are a huge hit amongst friends and family. The Coffee will certainly give you a kick start for that workout or afternoon slump. It is packed with healthy fats so they will fill you up. Although these are tiny, they sure are mighty.
As always, these are gluten free with no added sugar (depending on what chocolate chips you use, if any).

1/4 cup Almond Butter, no sugar or salt added
1/2 cup mini Chocolate Chips
1/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 pkt Stevia
1. Place first seven ingredients into a blender and blend until mixture is sticky/slightly wet from the dates. Stop before it gets to a flour type consistency. You want some crunch.

3. Using a dessert spoon, or just your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll into little balls in your hands.
4. Place in an air-tight container and store in the fridge.
