Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 3 tbsp Matcha green tea powder
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • A pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 8 soft dates, pitted
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cashew Flour: Place the cashews in a food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency making sure not to over-process into nut butter.
  2. Add Dates: Add the pitted soft dates to the food processor and pulse for about a minute until the dates are broken down and well mixed with the cashew flour, forming a sticky dough.
  3. Incorporate Flavorings: Add the matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt into the mixture. Pulse the processor until everything is thoroughly combined and the dough is uniform in texture and color.
  4. Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter for easy snacking.
  5. Coat with Coconut: Roll each energy ball in shredded coconut to create a light coating, which adds texture and a mild sweetness.
  6. Chill: Place the coated energy balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving. Store them in the fridge to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Use soft medjool dates for easier blending and natural sweetness.
  • You can substitute cashews with almonds or walnuts for a different nut flavor.
  • Ensure the matcha powder is high quality and finely sifted for best taste and texture.
  • These energy balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, try using sunflower seeds instead of cashews.
