Carrot Cake Protein Balls

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup raw cashews
    3/4 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cup Medjool dates
    4 ounces unsweetened applesauce
    1 serving vanilla plant-based protein powder (about 35 grams)
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/8 teaspoon cloves
    1 carrot, grated
    1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
    1/3 cup rolled in unsweetened coconut

Directions

  1. Add the cashews, oats, dates, applesauce, protein powder, and spices to the food processor. Turn on until a choppy dough forms, several minutes.
  2. Add the grated carrot and pecans until thoroughly mixed. The dough will appear slightly sticky.
  3. Pour unsweetened shredded coconut into a bowl.
  4. Roll dough into balls, roll each one in the coconut, and place on a clean cookie sheet.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Store uneaten balls in an airtight container in the fridge.
