CARROT CAKE ENERGY BALLS RECIPE
1/4 cup creamy roasted almond butter
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey protein powder*
1/4 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoon raisins
2 tablespoon walnuts
2 tablespoon shredded coconut
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch each nutmeg + ground ginger
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until everything is mixed together. The consistency will be similar to sand.
Grab about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and squeeze in your palm to get it to stick. Then, form into a ball. Repeat until you have 10 balls.
Place all balls on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for one hour. Transfer to an airtight container and leave in fridge until ready to enjoy!
NOTES
*If you don’t want to use protein powder you can skip it and add an extra 1/4 cup of oats.
