In a small food processor, chop the macadamia nuts into small pieces- make sure not to grind them all into a flour, you want some texture left.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
Pour in the brown rice syrup and begin to mix.
Slowly add the almond milk and continue to mix until everything looks like one sticky ball.
Grind the almonds into small pieces and place them in a shallow bowl.
Using your hands, portion the mixture into balls. Roll each ball in the almonds until coated and set on a piece of parchment paper when done. You'll need to press the almonds into the balls firmly so it sticks.
Note: to prevent the mixture sticking to your hands too much, rub some coconut oil on them as needed.
Place the balls in the freezer for thirty minutes to set.

The protein powder you choose will affect the texture and flavor of the balls.
You cannot substitute whey protein though as the balls will not hold together
If you want the balls to be sweeter, add a few drops of stevia to the mixture or roll them in paleo chocolate chips
