Tips

To minimise food waste store nuts/seeds out of direct light and heat and always in an airtight container.
Making energy balls is a great way to use up leftover juice pulp, you can alter the recipe to suit whichever pulp and spices you have. For a firmer energy ball, you can drizzle in melted coconut oil or chocolate.
