I learned so much at Paleo fx this past weekend. I am really want to start eating more variety. I ate chicken and turkey for so many years. It has been a transition to simply add read meat and a little pork back in my diet. After attending many of the sessions on the autoimmune protocol, I realized my diet is not as rounded as I’d like to think. I’m want to start eating liver even though the thought makes me gag a little. After I get back from Europe, I plan to do a full evaluation of my diet and see where there are any holes.
So I planned to leave Austin yesterday and get home in plenty of time to write my post. Unfortunately traffic had other plans for me. The entire highway I was traveling on was closed due to an accident. My GPS decided this would be a good time to stop working. Two hours later and one tour of Fort Worth, I finally made it through Dallas. Needless to say, I will be flying the next time I go to Austin!
I really wanted to make carrot cake cupcakes then remembered I’m not the best baker. Instead I put all the yummy flavors of carrot cake into a no bake ball. These are so easy to make. I settle my craving for carrot cake without turning on the oven. Makes about 20.

Do you have the nutritional info for this recipe? Sounds yummy!
I’m sorry I actually don’t.
These are delicious! Super easy and not too sweet; and people couldn’t believe how healthy they are. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I’m glad they were a hit!
How long would these keep in the fridge for?
Thx!
I kept them up to a week!
Hello there!
Quick question: the 3 dates needed are medijol or the normal, regular-small size ones? I REALLY wanna make these!
They are medijol!
I think I have everything to make these except for flax meal. Is there something I can substitute for that?
