If you use Chronometer -the paid version- you can easily upload these recipes using the url which will provide the entire breakdown of macros by serving and track your days intake. I highly rate using Yuka and Chronometer!
What would make this a five-star review is the nutritional information. Yuka is all about health and eating right so I’m hopeful all recipes will have additional information in the future. Thanks!
I like carrot cake but won’t sacrifice for the high caloric calories. These energy bites fulfilled the taste quite well. I will definitely make them again. Thanks YUKA!
Looks very delicious and healthy. I will definitely try it.
Great Recipes, Thanks
I would like to know how many calories carrot roll bites? thank they are delicious, I don’t use yogurt ,i have allergies.
Carmen, what did you use instead of yogurt? I was wondering if applesauce would substitute?
Fabulous recipes! Yum!!
Could you provide information on the calories, carbs, etc.
I asked chat for an estimate for this recipe Based on your recipe, which makes 20 energy balls, here are the estimated calories and serving sizes.
Calories per bite
95
Approximately
Serving size
2 bites
190 calories per serving
Estimated nutrition per serving (2 bites)
Nutrient Amount
Calories 190
Carbohydrates 31 g
Protein 5 g
Fat 6 g
Fiber 4 g
Sugar (naturally occurring) 13 g
Total recipe: Approximately 1,900 calories.
These estimates assume walnuts or pecans, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, and standard-sized dates. Actual values will vary with your ingredients and the size of the bites.
My suggestion: List the serving size as 2 energy bites (1/10 of the recipe). They’re a nice little snack, but dates, oats, and nuts pack quite a bit of energy into those small bites! 😜
Appreciate the recipe..I added 2T protein powder, and sugar free coconut . YUM
Nutritional facts would be nice but I’ll figure it out!😃
Looks ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
Looks delicious and healthy thanks so much
Are rolled oats quick oats or old-fashioned oats?
I agree with everyone who would like to see a print button. I did a cut paste and it was fine but too time consuming . Just want a one page quick way to print or take a screenshot to put in my recipe file. I’m sure on your end you could make that possible for all of us who would love to try your yummy recipes. They all sound great but I need to use it at a later date .
Cant print the menu
The carrot energy balls are delicious 😋. The basic premise of ground oats and plain yogurt is a great start to many variations by adding dried cranberries, raisins, pistachios, etc.
This r to high carb for me.
Love your recipes – but could you show the nutrition facts?
Hi on the Carrot Cake Energy Bites can I skip Ginger (I can’t have) and the pecans or walnuts with out changing taste.
Sounds good.
I love your app and recipes!!! I really appreciate it a lot!!! Is really good information!!! I plan in getting a subscription to access to the full app soon!!!
Calories? Carbs? sugar?

Sounds great!
Do you have any recipes that are low carb and zero sugar for diabetics?
These look really tasty.
I am also looking how to print this. I tried to copy and paste but the format was way off. Thanks in advance!
Copy the document from top to bottom including images. Open a word doc and choose the paste option the says “keep text only”. You will need to do a bit of editing–but it’s a limited amount.
I then copied just the first image and pasted it onto the document. Reduced its size and chose text wrapping “tight” before moving the image to the top with corner.
You can also copy and paste it into your notes and it comes out just like the original.
Is there a way to print the recipe?
I’d love to try the carrot cake energy bars. They have all my favorite ingredients in 😋
Right click near the recipe list and top photo. Then select “print” from the dropdown menu.
It’s looks so good 😊
Where is the recipe for Peanut Butter Bites?
Love Yuka
If you could add the macros to your recipes it would really be helpful!
Can I use ginger powder or did you use fresh ginger?
I believe ginger powder and ground ginger are the same thing.
Fresh ginger is soo much better tasting – can be spicy if too much so suit your preferences
I have both but wanted to know if one can be substituted for the other! Thanks to both of you!
I will try the carrot cake energy ball. Thank you
i will try this
These are great. Perfect for after my workout.
I Love healthy recipes! I’m going to use coconut and carrots from my garden. Thanks sooo much.
Coconut? When would you add the coconut? You’re adjusting the recipe, right?
Of course! that is the fun of cooking to be creative and adjust to your preferences! 🙂
This sounds like a delightful little snack, that would fit me well
These look so yummy but is there an vegan alternative instead of yogurt that would work? 😊
Coconut or almond milk yogurt works well.
Do I need to cook the rolled oats or is is ok to make the carrot cake with raw oats?
Although I haven’t made these (yet!), I’ve made other no-bake treats with uncooked rolled oats.
Yes, raw oats! 🙂
I will definitely try these thank you for sharing
These all look easy and delicious❗️I am going to try them all 😄
With this recipe one could ‘snack’ them all down at once. Tasty and very healthy!
I/ we will make lots of new friends by sharing these morsels! Thank you for this GREAT snack recipe!
Have been looking for simple snacks. Thanks so much.
Can you use coconut in place of oats?
I love carrot cake. This is gonna be such a great way to enjoy one of my favorite snacks, healthy like carrots are so good for you no, I have another excuse to put more carrots in my body❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂
Thank you these are awesome !!!
Hi … both recipes look so yummy but can you please provide nutritional values? Many thanks!
I would also love to have the nutritional values, please. Protein, carbs, etc.

Nutritional value please

I would as well!
For those looking for a substitute for dates, I’ve used dried plums (or prunes for us oldsters). It works beautifully
Your favorite chatbot (I.e ChatGPT, Gemini, etc) can do that for you. Just copy and paste the list of ingredients and how many servings it will be divided into. Then ask it to produce a nutrition facts table.
“I’m making Carrot Cake Energy Bites. The recipe calls for the following ingredients, which will be divided into 20 servings:
(List ingredients and quantities here)
Create a Nutrition Facts chart that shows the standard nutritional information per serving you would see on a typical food package.”
You can modify your request to include any macro-nutrients or other information you’d like to see.
Just remember that chatbots use AI and results may not be 100% accurate. Use for reference only. Always consult a qualified nutritionist before making dietary decisions that could affect your overall health and do not rely solely on information produced by AI.
