Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Ingredients
• 6 medjool dates, pitted Ingredients
• 3/4 cup any nut you have on hand, my original recipe has walnuts but I often use almonds Ingredients
• 1/2 cup grated carrots (only pre-grate if you have to, some food processors will do the work for you!) Ingredients
• 1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds (aka hemp hearts) or plant-based protein powder Ingredients
• 1/4 cup honey (optional) Ingredients
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (only required if your protein powder doesn't contain vanilla) Ingredients
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon Ingredients
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg Ingredients
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves Ingredients

Instructions

1. Reserve 1/4 cup (60 mL) shredded coconut in a shallow dish for rolling.
2. Place remaining ingredients in a high-powered food processor (you won't have to pre-shred the carrots if you have a high power processor) and process until fully combined.
3. Form mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and roll in reserved shredded coconut, coating balls completely. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
4. Keep chilled, or freeze in an airtight container for a few months (though I guarantee they won’t last that long).
5. Enjoy 1 or 2 as a snack or dessert.
