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: Stunning and delicious yet super easy to make, this raw berry tart will impress your friends and family. It has a nuts and dates pastry, a cashew and coconut based cream and is topped with berries. Use fresh berries in the summer when they are plentiful, and just use frozen berries when they are not in season. Would also make a fine Valentine's Day treat !

Summary: Raw vegan energy balls and bars are super easy to make, very versatile, and make great after dinner treats and midday or post workout snacks.
For a basic fail-proof recipe, simply use equal amounts of nuts or seeds and dried fruits, and add a little of as many flavourings as you desire : food-grade essential oils, super foods or spices.
These Spirulina, Cacao and Coconut energy balls are a great combination, as the sweetness of the dates, Brazil nuts and desiccated coconut perfectly balance the bitterness of the cacao nibs, and the relatively modest amount of spirulina beautifully blends in without being overpowering.
Do try them as an evening treat or as a mid-morning / mid-afternoon or post-workout snack.
Makes about 12 energy balls.
