Raw Orange And Carrot Energy Balls Recipe

Raw energy balls are a very popular snack, generally made from processing nuts or seeds with dried fruits, herbs, spices, superfoods, and then shaping the mixture into balls or flattening them into energy bars. Including vegetables into a sweet treat is a genius trick to help children and adults eat more vegetables, and these Raw Orange And Carrot Energy Balls are a great way to benefit from the health benefits of carrots : beta-carotene, antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium, and more.
