I already know well this type of snacks; I make them very often with what I have in my kitchen drawers. I liked certain things in this recipe, but not others (the texture, in particular, ed), so I had fun creating my own recipe for “carrot energy balls,” french version, and of course: rock n’ roll, like everything on this blog. \ud83e\udd18\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here is my version of this cute snack very well known across the Atlantic, which is starting to come in Europe, for the best of your taste buds and vitamins.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Carrots<\/h6>\n
An apple every day keeps the doctor away, but a carrot daily, health constantly!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Obviously, the first asset of the carrot is beta-carotene, A.K.A vitamin A, your best anti-wrinkle, and anti-aging weapon, both best for your skin and cells. Do you want to stay young and beautiful? Just like Bugs Bunny: eat carrots! (no double entendre in this sentence, lol, ed).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But that’s not all, rich in fiber, they also contain vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, C, E and K, and minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, calcium and phosphorus. Which make them allies for your bones and teeth (phosphorus + vitamin A), your skin, your heart, your kidneys and your eyesight. Isn’t it great?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whether it is eaten as an early vegetable, a seasonal, or kept from the previous season, we can have it all year round.<\/p>\n

Coconut-carrot energy balls<\/h6>\n
For about 15 bites<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3 carrots (about 3 normal size carrots in organic) <\/p>\n 2 pinches of vanilla powder <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Put the oatmeal in the bowl of a food processor to ground it into a powder. <\/p>\n Then arrange the rest of the ingredients, namely the cashew puree, the grated coconut, the almond powder, the vanilla, the cinnamon, the ginger, and ground everything by pulses; otherwise the pieces of carrots not mixed will go up. If necessary, open the blender bowl, stir with the handle of a wooden spoon and mix again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I like it when there are a few small pieces of carrots left, but you do what you want, it’s your recipe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using a TBSP American measuring spoon (tablespoon) or a spoon of your choice: make a small ball, roll it in the palm of your hand, then in the coconut powder and place it on a presentation dish. Do the same with the entire preparation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once the bites are successfully made, place them in the refrigerator for at least an hour before eating them (but if you do it before, I won’t tell anyone!).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can keep them about 3 days in the fridge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bravo to you, in 15 minutes including dishes, you have achieved a feat: making the carrot a great dessert-snack. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hello, young Padawan Recently, I had fun browsing the net a bit, maybe like you (or not …). And it was not fruitless! (hum, move from Youporn to Youtube and you will see that for you either, lol). I found a cute American recipe of “carrot energy balls” from June 2016, which I, obviously, had fun reproducing.
