Matcha is hailed as a superfood, and with good reason. Full of antioxidants, fiber, and naturally occurring caffeine... its the perfect way to start the day of to jam into an on the go snack. Whilst the Monash University hasn’t tested matcha yet, they have tested green tea, and Matcha is essentially green tea in a more malleable form. As with anything, check your tolerances first before gorging on a new type of food, no matter how tasty! These ooey gooey matcha bliss balls are great for keeping in the freezer and snacking on when you need a little extra boost during the day. Perfect for 3.30-itis!
Matcha Bliss Balls
Yield: 12
Prep time: 10 MinInactive time: 12 HourTotal time: 12 H & 10 M
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Gluten Free rolled oats
- 4 TBSP almond butter
- 2 TBSP maple syrup
- 3 TBSP neutral/vanilla protein powder
- 2 tsp good quality matcha powder
- 1-2 TBSP lactose free milk
- desiccated coconut to coat
Instructions
- Mix ingredients 1-5 together in a medium sized bowl until well combined. Use the milk if your mix is a little dry. I find this depends on the protein powder you use. the mixture will be tacky but should not be wet.
- Place desiccated coconut on a plate.
- Roll into bite sized balls and coat thoroughly in the desiccated coconut popping onto a plate covered in baking paper.
- Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge until set - I usually leave overnight to allow them to really firm up. Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
If you like things a little sweeter, try adding in some chopped dark chocolate!
