Carrot Cake Protein Bites

These Carrot Cake Protein Bites are like dessert. Its pretty amazing they are loaded with veggies, healthy fats, and protein considering how tasty they are. This perfect combo will keep you full and give you energy that lasts.

These are ALMOST too good to be true. Eating one of these protein bites is exactly like eating carrot cake. These bites have all the flavors of fall wrapped into a ball. Its amazing! It’s hard to believe they are incredibly healthy for you or even Paleo!

It is incredibly important to have sustainable protein and fat for a snack, otherwise you’ll end up crashing though the day. These are packed with sustainable protein, healthy fats and carbs for lasting energy. This really is the perfect snack!

This is an easy no-bake, no-fuss snack to whip up. It is so simple to throw together and it only takes about 10 minutes, then you can enjoy these all week long!

Storing the Carrot Cake Protein Bites is best in the fridge, in a sealed container. You can keep them this way for up to 5 days. These also freeze well if you want to double the batch or simply can’t finish them all.

Making your own snacks is SO much cheaper than finding paleo compliant snacks at the store. Options like Larabars are so convenient but they are $1 at best. Making your own snacks like these protein bites are a sustainable option for your wallet. I understand how it can be difficult to come up with time to make snacks everyday. I try to prep and store all the snacks for the week Sunday afternoon so these can be convenient to eat throughout the week.

Happy Snacking! As always, I’d love to hear how you enjoyed this recipe so don’t forget to come back and let me know!
