Place the almonds into a food processor. Pulse (starting and stopping every couple seconds) until you have a mixture of chopped almonds and almond meal.
Add the shredded coconut, flaxseed meal and salt. Pulse a couple of times, just until uniform. (Do not overmix.)
Add the peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla. Pulse again until just combined. (Again, do not overmix.)
Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and press them into the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop and your hands to form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the parchment paper. Enjoy right away, refrigerate, or freeze.
