These no-bake energy bites taste surprisingly like actual carrot cake — sweet, spiced, and satisfying — and they hold together well enough to toss in a bag and forget about until you need them.

I have made this recipe before (it’s great). Now I want to make it in the food processor attachment. Seems like it would mix it a little better. Have you made this since you got your food processor attachment?

  We haven’t made it yet but definitely agree that the food processor attachment may work even better for this recipe. Will update when we try it.

  I tried it in the food processor attachment today. It made quick work of the mixture. I found it mixed a lot better. I always had trouble with my Vitamix getting the whole batch to mix. The one issue I found was that the balls did not form as easily. Maybe the Vitamix blender blades beat a little more moisture out of the ingredients. I will definitely make these in the food processor attachment from now on.

I wish you included the nutritional information for your recipes. It would be helpful in my fitness/health goals.

  Hey Ryan if you add all the ingredients into the MyFitnessPal app, it will calculate the nutritional value for you. You can just copy and paste all ingredients and better the number of servings. Super easy! That’s what I’ve been doing. The detox salad will definitely help you drop pounds and it’s so yummy!!!

  Thanks, Angel. That’s exactly what we would do as well, which is why we don’t. We figure everyone has their own methods and calculations. We’ve also found that the actual ingredients people use vary widely (especially for our international readers). Sorry to not make it easier for you, Ryan. We do try our best to make healthy recipes 🙂

Just curious. I gave up white chocolate when I went plant based as it contains milk product. Have you discovered one that is plant based?

  We’ve had some luck in the kosher department at our local grocery store. It’s a good little resource for dairy-free dessert items. You can also order on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2ydU8LT
