This recipe is great if you need a filling snack or a satisfying post-workout protein boost. We love the spices in carrot cake—no matter what the season—which is what inspired us to create Carrot Cake Protein Bites that we could enjoy guilt-free. This recipe uses raw carrots, raisins, walnuts and dates to pack a powerful and sweet nutritional punch. For protein, we used grass-fed collagen from Vital Proteins, which is great for your hair, skin, nails and joints. If you’re vegan, just swap this out for your favorite plant-based protein powder.
