Raw carrot cake protein balls

If you love carrot cake like I do , then look these protein balls are for you. Not only do they taste like carrot cake but they are healthy and you wouldn't even think it.
These Protein balls are very easy to make and super delicious so give them a try, you won't regret it.



Ingredients :
1 cup of medjool dates
1 large carrot (shredded)
1 Tbs pure maple syrup
1/3 cup of almond meal (ground almonds)
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp Hemp protein powder
2 Tbs peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of Himalayan salt
1/3 cup of desiccated coconut plus extra to roll balls into.

Method: 
add all of the ingredients into a food processor.




Pulse the mixture until it all comes together into a sticky mixture.




Now roll the mixture into bite sized balls and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper. Roll some in coconut and leave some as they are (if you wish)



Place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes and then transfer them into a container and keep in the fridge.

  
Enjoy these carrot cake protein balls when you crave something sweet or need a quick energy boost.

These protein balls will last a few months in the fridge or indefinitely in the freezer.

Enjoy :)

  2. Hi Sarah-Jane, thank you for your comment :) I'm sure it will work without the almonds, you can substitute it with coconut flour or oats or totally leave it out :) Have a great day.
