1/3 cup almond or cashew butter
-
1/4 cup honey
Directions

Adjust consistency as needed—add a bit more nut butter if too dry, or a drizzle of honey if it needs more sweetness or binding.
-
Roll the mixture into 1½–2 tablespoon-sized balls.
-
Roll each ball in desiccated coconut to coat.
-
Enjoy immediately or store for later.
Using high-quality matcha is important. Our matcha is ground from premium Japanese green tea leaves, giving it a vibrant color, smooth flavor, and powerful antioxidant profile. For this recipe, we recommend using our Organic Chef's Choice Matcha Powder.
Matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus and helps balance caffeine’s effects, making it especially supportive for those who are sensitive to blood sugar swings or energy crashes.
Tips & Tricks
-
If the texture is too dry, add a bit of nut butter one tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together easily.
-
If it’s too sticky, chill the dough for 10–15 minutes before rolling.
-
Make them nut-free: Try sunflower seed butter instead of almond or cashew butter.
-
Add a boost of protein: Add a tablespoon of collagen peptides or a clean protein powder.
-
To store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
