Summary: 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.

Summary: Although commercial trail mixes are widely available, I like to make mine, so that it has exactly what I like, and none of what I don't like so much. Also known as GORP (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts or Granola, Oats, Raisins and Peanuts) in the trekking and hiking community, trail mix, a combination of nuts and seeds and dried fruits, sometimes with chocolate, is the perfect snack while hiking, as it is lightweight, does not require refrigeration and provides a quick energy boost from the dried fruits and more sustained energy from the fats and the protein in the nuts and seeds. In my own version, I use my favourite nuts : creamy brazil and macadamia nuts, coconut chips, super healthy goji berries, super sweet raisins, super mellow mulberries, and finally, I add raw cacao nibs, which are the original chocolate chips, for a cacao hit.
For a fully raw trail mix, be sure to use raw coconut chips.
Makes 650g : about 4 cups or 1 litre.
