Walnut & Raisin Carrot Cake Energy Balls
This recipe uses leftover juicing pulp to make healthy energy balls. We’re using a mixture of carrots, apples and ginger combined with ground mixed spice and walnuts for a flavour similar to carrot cake. They’re naturally sweetened with the fruit pulp, raisins and dates. High in fibre, these will keep your energy balanced and are a great snack when you’re on the go!
- 1 cup + ¼ (around 140 g total) juicing pulp (a mixture of carrots, apples and ginger)
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (175 g) – soaked in hot water overnight, then drained
- 3 tbsp. (21 g) whole walnuts, chopped
- 1 tsp. (5 g) ground mixed spice
- 2 tbsp. (18 g) raisins

1. In a food processor, add the juicing pulp, dates, chopped walnuts, mixed spice and raisins.
2. Next, pulse several times until the mix is well combined.
