    Try these delicious little balls of bliss with this Vegan Matcha Energy Balls Recipe! Created with a base of nutty almond flour, soft dates and earthy matcha green tea powder - a combination that is just as tasty as it is energy boosting.

    This Recipe is:

    • 100% vegan
    • naturally gluten-free
    • egg-free & dairy-free
    • natural and delicious
    • easy to make
    • a great snack on the go!

    I'm a big snacker! And as a big snacker, I like to focus on creating delicious, nourishing and satisfying snacks in advance, that are not only tasty but also on a healthier side than some of their commercially produced counterparts.

    These matcha energy balls are a perfect energy booster! I like to keep them in the fridge in a bowl or airtight container, ready to go as a little snack and energy kick whenever I need it.

    These balls are created on a base of almond flour and dates, which make the mixture perfectly sticky to roll into little balls. I personally like to add fresh Medjool dates and I remove the pits beforehand. Alternatively, you can also use dried dates - as these are firmer and less juicy, however, you will need to soak them upfront.

    I personally love the flavour of green tea and the subtle bitterness that comes with it, so I also sprinkle more matcha powder onto the outside of these energy balls (this might not be the right way for some, but feel free to adapt to however you enjoy these match energy balls the most!).

    Ingredients & Notes

    These delicious snack balls are used with just a handful of natural ingredients:

    • almond flour - I get mine in bulk from Buywholefoodsonline
    • coconut oil - best use extra virgin for this recipe as it comes with a less strong flavour than other coconut oils
    • desiccated coconut
    • matcha powder - I have used Clearspring for this recipe
    • vegan protein powder - vanilla or neutrally flavoured)
    • dates - I like to use Medjool dates for this recipe

    Equipment

    • food processor or blender (a stick blender works as well)
    • a bowl

    The Best Protein Powder for Energy Balls

    For this recipe I have used the MyVegan Vanilla Soy Protein Isolate - it's one of my staples in creating vegan sweets and recipes. It's very high in protein with a subtle vanilla flavour and it's great for use in recipes.

    I have also tried the Matcha flavoured protein from Pureblend Co before, which works a treat in this recipe too.

    You can pretty much use any neutral, vanilla or matcha flavoured protein in this recipe as these will perform best. Stay away from other flavours (e.g. chocolate, coffee, berry flavours etc) and choose a protein that is not hemp-based, as hemp often comes with a strong flavour.

    How to Make Vegan Energy Balls (Step-by-Step)

    The process of making these vegan Matcha Energy Balls is fairly simple:

    Step 1 - Preparation

    Prepare your ingredients beforehand, measure the ingredients and remove your stones from the dates. If you are using dried dates instead of fresh dates, please first soak them in warm water for 15 minutes before continuing with the recipe. 

    Step 2 - Food Processor

    Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until the dates are incorporated with the other ingredients. You should get a fairly smooth and sticky mixture with only small chunks left. 

    Both a food processor and stick blender have worked well in making this recipe before. I personally haven't used a regular blender for this recipe (these are usually a little more difficult to blend firmer and less liquid things), but in theory, you can use it as well.

    Step 3 - Chilling time

    Transfer the mix to a bowl and place it in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour. This will help firm up the mixture. 

    Step 4 - Shape the energy balls

    Once the time elapses, you can remove the mix from the fridge and start forming your energy balls. Best use a teaspoon to portion the bites, then form the balls by rolling the mix between your hands.

    This recipe should be sufficient for about 10-15 energy balls, depending on the size you're creating.
