Green-Tea Energy Balls // Pre-Workout Recipe!

Hello lovelies! So you all know already that I love Matcha and so whenever the opportunity comes up to use this vibrant lil' green powder in a recipe I can't help myself, hence this foodie post: GREEN-TEA ENERGY BALLS. 

You might remember my Chocolate Chia Balls post from a while ago where I showed you my favourite recipe for some healthy bite-size treats but while that's more of a dessert kind of one, these Green Tea Energy Balls are specifically for that small burst of healthy energy you need right before a Workout.

Paired with raw almonds, dates and chia seeds, the matcha in this gives it both it's amazing green-tea flavour and so many antioxidants that are great for your body too. I got to the gym 4 times a week currently, and one of these right before is the BEST pre-workout snack I've tried so far and since you're making it yourself you know exactly what's going into it (no weird protein shakes!) I hope you find this recipe useful and let me know in the comments what flavour energy balls I should make next? I'm thinking Christmas ones ooo....

You Will Need: (Makes roughly 10 Balls)

1/2 Cup of Pure Oats   

1/4 Cup of  Almonds and Pine Nuts

1/4 Cup of Raw Honey / Maple Syrup

1 Tbsp of Chia Seeds

1/4 Cup of Dates (pitted)

1 Tbsp of Matcha Powder

1/4 Cup of Shredded Coconut

Let’s Do this:

---

Step one: Add the Oats, Nuts, Dates, and all dry ingredients into a Food Processor and blend until fully mixed.

Step two: Add in the the 1/4 Cup of Honey and blend until it makes a sticky sort of mixture. You may need to add more honey depending on the mix.

Step three:  Now (get ya hands stuck in!) and roll the mix evenly into lots of small bite-size balls. Then roll these balls in the shredded coconut until the outside is coated and pop into the fridge in a small tupperware ready to eat.
