Matcha Energy Balls

These matcha energy balls of bliss are bursting with nutrients and antioxidants from the matcha, pumpkin seeds, dates, chia seeds, and coconut. Don't be scared off by the matcha, until a few weeks ago I had never tried matcha powder before, and now I've fallen in love with it. I've been making matcha lattes, adding it to smoothies and baking. It's so good!! Matcha powder invigorates you. It's very high in antioxidants, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which is responsible for its beautiful green colour.

Energy balls are a staple in my home and are one of my fav go-to snacks. By adding matcha powder to the mix it gives you an extra nutrient boost. Whether you're after a quick afternoon pick-me-up, or fixing a sweet tooth craving these energy balls will hit the spot! They're also gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar-free. The perfect sweet, healthy snack. One or two should satisfy your hunger between meals.
