    Ingredients and Variations

    Oats - You will need old-fashioned rolled oats, oat flakes, or quick oats.

    Chia Seeds - For added fibre and nutrients - optional.

    Matcha Powder - use good-quality (ideally premium grade) matcha green tea powder for the best taste and vibrant green color.

    Ground Almonds - For added protein. You can also substitute with protein powder.

    Almond Butter - For binding the energy balls together and added protein and almond taste! Use smooth almond butter for best results.

    Alternatively, you can also use cashew butter or smooth peanut butter.

    Maple Syrup - Sweetener. You can also use honey (not vegan friendly) or agave syrup.

    How to Make Almond Matcha Energy Balls

    To make these green tea energy bites, simply place all ingredients in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a food processor and mix/blitz until combined.

    Roll the mixture into 12 small balls, using around 1 tablespoon of mixture for each ball.

    Then cover, and refrigerate for 2-4 hours until set.

    Before serving, roll into more matcha powder as desired.

    Making Ahead and Storing

    These healthy energy bites can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to 1 week. Do not store these at room temperature or they will turn soft and soggy.

    You can also freeze these matcha protein balls in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
