Carrot Cake Protein Balls Nutrition Info:

Carrots: are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A, biotin, vitamin K , potassium and vitamin B6. If you have leftover carrots from meals this week, this is a fun way to use them up!

Oats: are a good source of a unique type of fiber called beta-glucan, which is associated with a range of health benefits. They also contain protein. The oats in this recipe help create a great consistency for the protein bites.

Dates: contain several vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber and antioxidants. Dates are a delicious way to sweeten up a recipe.

Collagen: your body needs high-quality protein that contains the amino acids needed to make new proteins. Collagen is a great source of those amino acids. If you are looking for an allergen friendly protein option I’d suggest trying collagen or a plant based protein powder.
