Carrot Cake Snack Balls

These are a great raw snack in the morning or pre-workout. They contain carrots for beta carotene, medjool dates for energy, copper and fibre, and coconut oil for medium chain fatty acids providing energy and fat-burning benefits. These freeze well and need to be kept in the fridge. They disappear fast though, and are a hit at every gathering I bring them to.
