We love having simple and healthy snacks around that I can take on the go! These matcha energy balls are perfect for that because they’re so easy to make, very portable, healthy and delicious. The dates and nuts are an energizing, filling combo that packs even more punch when combined with the matcha.

Ingredients:

8 medjool dates

¼ c raw cashews

1 t matcha powder

1 t coconut oil

Optional: shredded coconut for coating the outside

Steps:

1. Place all ingredients (except coconut) into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until the mixture comes together into a really thick, dough-like consistency.
2. Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
3. If you want to roll the balls in coconut (highly recommended!), spread some coconut on a plate and roll the balls around, pressing the coconut in so it sticks.
4. Refrigerate for about an hour before eating and store leftovers in the fridge. You can also eat them right away, but in my opinion, they are best when cold.
