Carrot Bites

Carrot Cake Bites

If you are a carrot cake lover or even a morning glory muffin maven, these lil carrot cake bites are my favourite snack and double as a grab and go breakfast. Gluten-free, high fiber, nutrient dense and oh-so- tasty, these little plant based balls of greatness come together easily and can last in fridge for days. Whole grains, veggies, healthy fats and packed with protein, the only thing missing is those leafy greens. But you can get those in and the next meal!
