I have recently been trying hard to get healthier and loose some weight. The thought of engagement photos, trying on wedding dresses, and general attention in my direction is something new and frightening for me. I hate photos of myself, luckily we have a great photographer who is helping me be less tragic in front of the camera.
Anyways...on to why you are here. I have started doing the BodyrockTV workouts and following their blog. I am sharing one recipe I found that both my fiancé and I love. Power Balls by Zuzana. You can find the original post here.
They are all natural no chemicals or processed foods packed full of nutrients.
Ingredients:
3 teaspoons of baking powder
4 tablespoons of raw honey
4 tablespoons of coconut oil melted
1 cup cooked carrots
Crushed almonds (or any other nut you like)
Preheat the oven to 350
Put the oats through the food processor to make oat flower (or close to it). Add the almond meal and baking powder and mix. Add the honey and mix again. Add the oil and mix. Add the cooked carrots and mix. Roll the mixed batter into balls roll in the crushed almonds until they are covered completely and place on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Makes about 25, two bite balls.
I use the food processor for the entire recipe but it would work just fine with a stand or hand mixer.
I found the recipe did not double well the consistency was more sticky and I wasn't able to roll them. We used these for a snack or a quick breakfast on the go. I just kept them in a bag in the fridge once they cooled off.

Sorry the formatting is all wonky, I originally did this post on my phone and it didn't translate well.
