A healthy snack recipe: Carrot protein balls recipe
(Nut free, vegan and gluten free)
These are by far one of my favourite snack recipes.
The addition of the carrot helps to boost beneficial fibre, beta carotene and a wonderful way of getting you to your 30 plants a week target!
Ingredients:
1 cup gluten free oats
3/4 cup finely grated carrots (extra brownie points for rainbow carrots)
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup organic goji berries (or dried wild blueberries are a great edition)
7 medjool dates
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
Method:
Blitz the oats so they form a fine consistency (like flour). Add the other ingredients apart from dates and coconut oil. Slowly add the dates and coconut oil and continue to blitz.
Once combined, roll into bite size balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
Place in the fridge until set for approximately 2 hours.
So delicious. Enjoy!
