Carrot Cake Protein Bites

Ingredients (makes 18-20)

  • 8 Medjool dates (or other soft variety)
  • 1 ¾ cups walnuts
  • 1 ¾ cups rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if making GF version)
  • 2 medium carrots, washed and peeled
  • 1 scoop Sunwarrior Classic Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • A pinch of Sunwarrior Sea Salt
  • Desiccated coconut for coating

Directions

  1. Finely grate the carrots and place them in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients apart from the coconut and blend until dough forms. It should stick together and form easily but it shouldn’t be too wet or too soft. If it is too wet, add more oats. If it is too dry, add more dates.
  2. Place a handful of desiccated coconut on a plate. Using a tablespoon scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them in your hands into balls, then roll them in the coconut until completely covered and set aside. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
