Matcha Pistachio Energy Balls
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
Serves Servings: 14 balls

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup raw cashews

¼ cup raw shelled pistachios

  • 12 pitted Medjool dates

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¼ roughly chopped pistachios, for rolling

Directions


  1. Blend. Place the cashews, pistachios, Medjool dates, shredded coconut, matcha, and coconut oil in a food processor. Process for one minute, or until finely chopped and blended.

  1. Scoop and make balls. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out balls of the mixture. Roll between your hands to create evenly sized balls.

  1. Roll in pistachios. When all the balls have been rolled, roll them again through the chopped pistachios and press firmly into the balls.

  1. Chill. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up slightly, then enjoy!

Notes

Store in the fridge: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Store in the freezer: Separate layers of balls with parchment or wax paper so they don’t stick together. Then, store them in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight.
