carrot date energy bites 2Happy Easter! On this Easter Sunday I’m thinking about two foods: chocolate and carrots. They balance each other out, right? I do love my chocolate, but these Carrot Cake Bliss Balls are a healthy sweet treat that you can eat a lot of and still feel great.

They’re the perfect punch of energy  you need to get you through that tough workout, or just through the work day. They’re a great balance of fibre and protein, which is what a healthy, balanced snack should have. Store these in the fridge for 3-4 days or the freezer for 3-4 months and take them out as you need them.
