So what do you do with that big bag of organic carrots sitting in your fridge? Carrot cake energy balls! Yes! Win, right? (Side note – I also make carrot cake, fresh pasta sauce, and grate them for Buddha bowls, but that’s another blog or two). I don’t know about you, but I love a good, hearty energy ball.
