How to Make Healthy No-Bake Carrot Energy Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw carrots, shredded
• 10 medjool dates, pitted and halved
• 1/2 cup raw pecans
• 1/2 cup raw walnuts
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• Sprinkle of sea salt
• Shredded coconut to cover
• Plain Greek yogurt (for serving)

5. Add the rolled oats and chia seeds, mixing thoroughly. If the mixture seems dry, add water as needed.
6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball. If desired, roll each ball in shredded coconut.
