Ingredients
Easy
Difficulty
1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts (40g)
200g Grated Carrots
12 Fresh Medjool Dates
1/3 Cup Shredded Coconut (30g)
40g Prana Primal Protein Vanilla Bean + Maple
1 Tbsp Finely Minced Ginger
1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
30g Desiccated Coconut (For rolling)
STEP 1
Place Walnuts into food processor and pulse until crumbly, set aside.
STEP 2
Using a heat proof bowl soak dates in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain off water, pit dates and place in food processor. Blend until soft.
STEP 3
Place grated carrot, minced ginger and dates together in a mixing bowl, mix until well combined.
STEP 4
Add the Prana Protein, take your time mixing to ensure all is incorporated.
STEP 5
Finally fold the Walnuts into the mixture and add the cinnamon.
STEP 6
Form into 30 gram balls with your hands, roll evenly in extra coconut and place in the freezer on a tray or plate to set for 4 hours.
STEP 7
Store in the freezer in an air tight container.
STEP 8
You can supplement grated ginger for powdered ginger (use 1/4 teaspoon) and you can use any vanilla flavoured protein powder, but I do recommend Prana Protein as it tastes amazing!
