How Is Almond Pulp Different From Almond Meal?
I came up with this recipe when I was learning how to use the raw almond pulp that’s leftover from making almond milk. The ground-up, “milked” almonds are still saturated with liquid and relatively course, not dry and finely ground like store-bought almond meal.
If you don’t have any almond pulp lying around and want to make energy balls, I suggest trying my Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls instead.
Variations
This recipe uses freeze dried raspberries, which you can find at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods in the same section as the trail mix and dried fruits. If you can’t find them, try using freeze dried strawberries or unsweetened dried cherries instead.
Whatever you use, just make sure it’s unsweetened. The whole point of this recipe is to satisfy your sweet tooth without any refined sugar.
