One of the things I love about making almond milk is the nut pulp that’s leftover. It became a challenge for me to figure out how to use this byproduct. I created these “no bake” energy bites from researching a variety of recipes. They make quite a few, so feel free to freeze them! Oh, and they’re gluten free and dairy free.
Notes
This recipe makes quite a few energy balls. I froze most of them in small baggies, so I could take out a few at a time.
