Matcha Green Tea Energy Balls
One of the easiest recipes that we have ever made so far is these matcha green tea energy balls. It really was so simple, that it was our little matcha baker who took the lead on the recipe and rolled his sleeves to get these matcha energy balls rolling in less than 15 minutes.
Energy balls are the perfect healthy treat, we mean it. They are just so easy to make, hassle-free, quick, and perfect to eat on the go. In fact, these are no-bake matcha energy balls, gluten-free and you can have them ready for snacking during the day.

To be honest, this was our first time making energy balls, but we absolutely loved it! This recipe of matcha green tea energy balls is sweet, but with the pistachio, it just makes it a playful experience.

Matcha Green Tea Energy Balls Recipe
DIRECTIONS
- Add one by one the ingredients of the matcha green tea energy balls to your food processor or hand blender.
- Mix slowly until all of your ingredients are well incorporated and you see that everything has been chopped uniformly.
- Refrigerate the matcha green tea energy balls mixture for 30 minutes before forming the bliss balls so it's easier to roll the balls.
- Start to scoop out balls about the size of a walnut. You can use a cookie scoop to form the balls.

It is always best to use Medjool dates, as they are richer and sweeter, but if you can't find them any dates are fine.
