Carrot Cake Protein Balls
It's International Carrot Day! What better way to celebrate than by incorporating those orange delights into a recipe? Carrots are a great source of beta carotene which, among a host of other benefits, helps keep your skin healthy.
Carrot cake is a big favourite in Team Neat so when you can’t have carrot cake, why not have a healthier alternative? These protein balls are based on the classic baked delight but are a lower calorie, alternative treat.
METHOD:
Grate your carrot and remove excess moisture by patting down with kitchen roll (if the carrot is too wet, the mixture won't bind).
Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and mix until the carrot is blended. If the mixture is too moist, add more oats to bind.
Roll into balls and keep in the fridge.
INGREDIENTS:
(Makes 12)
- 1 carrot, grated
- ½ cup of dates
- 2 scoops Neat Nutrition Protein Powder (Vanilla)
- ½ cup oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Grated nutmeg
