CARROT CAKE ENERGY BALLS

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 tbsp raisins

2 tbsp walnuts

2 tbsp shredded coconut

1 tbsp honey

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

a pinch each of ground ginger and nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until everything is mixed together. The consistency should be similar to sand.

Grab approximately a tablespoon of the mixture and squeeze in you palm to get it to stick. Form into a ball. Repeat until you have 10 balls.

Place the balls on a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight container and leave in the fridge until ready to eat.

*You may substitute another 1/4 cup of the oats and omit the protein powder, if you wish.
