What You'll Need:

• 1/4 cup Old fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup of grated carrots
• 1/4 cup nut butter or seed butter - peanut butter, sunflower seed butter etc.
• 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup of shredded coconut - plus extra for rolling
• 3 pitted dates

2. Once made into balls you can roll the balls and cover with the remaining shredded coconut.
3. You can store your energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. They’ll last up to 1-2 weeks in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer.
