Raw Carrot Cake Balls

Joyous Health

3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

6 Medjool dates, pitted

3/4 cup raw walnuts

1/2 cup grated carrots

1/4 cup hemp seeds

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey (or sweetened to desired sweetness)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp group cloves

Reserve 1/4 cup shredded coconut in shallow dish for rolling. Place remaining ingredients in a high-powered food processor and process until fully combined. Form mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and roll in reserved shredded coconut, coating balls completely. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Keep chilled, or freeze in airtight container for a few months (although I guarantee they won’t last that long!). Enjoy 1 or 2 as a snack or dessert!
