Carrot Cake Energy Balls | Free Recipe
Description
A post about carrot cake energy balls popped up in my feed a while back and, since then, I've been waiting until I had free time (and space in my tummy) to make a vegan keto recipe to share with you all. And now that my second book is finally edited and approved for release, I've got more space in my life to make whatever tickles my fancy. These pretty Carrot Cake Energy Balls are a delicious and nutritious sweet treat. Due to the almond butter and flour, a single ball has over 15% of your vitamin E. So if you don't make them for your tastebuds, do it for your eyes and skin! They deserve it.
Storage: refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes
- Double the carrot for 2.5g net carbs per ball (minimal change to other macros).
- You could use a flavored protein powder, or a mixture of plain and flavored, but you might find the result overly sweet. If you prefer not to use protein powder, you could increase the almond flour. However, doing this will increase the calories, fat, and net carbs, and reduce the protein.
