About These Carrot Cake Protein Energy Balls

They are so easy to make you could make them blindfolded ( please don't!)

This would also be a great recipe to get your kids involved in the kitchen, rolling and helping dip these little guys. 

The ingredients can be swapped and changed , just make sure you stick to the measurements. Eg. Walnuts can be used instead of Brazil nuts but you will still need 1 cup.

Carrot Cake Protein Energy Balls Ingredients:

• Carrots - As fresh and juicy as possible.
• Nuts - I've used Brazil nuts, but you can use walnuts, almonds or cashews instead
• Flax seeds or chia seeds -  Either works well. If using flaxseeds make sure they are grounded flaxseeds.
• Raisins - Work the treat, but so do chopped apricots.
• Pitted dates - Soaked for 15 min in a hot water to help to soften
• Dessicated coconut - Leave some space to rolls the balls in 
• Cinnamon - I love my energy balls nice and cinnamon-y, but feel free to omit it 
• Vanilla extract - If you can use pure vanilla extract for optimum flavour.
• Sea salt - Just a pinch to bring all the flavours out
