Matcha Almond Butter Oat Protein Balls
A vibrant little bite of energy, these Matcha Almond Butter Oat Protein Balls blend earthy matcha, creamy almond butter, and naturally sweet Medjool dates into a soft, chewy snack that feels both indulgent and nourishing. The oats and hemp seeds add fibre for steady energy, while the protein powder boosts satiety and supports metabolism. Rolled in coconut for a hint of texture, they’re a wholesome, antioxidant‑rich treat perfect for busy days, pre‑workout fuel, or a balanced afternoon pick‑me‑up.
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates (pitted and soaked in hot water for 10 minutes)
- 1 cup oats
- 1 serve vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- ½ cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the soaked dates until they form a smooth paste, scraping down the sides of the blender if needed. Add the rolled oats and process until they are finely chopped. Add the protein powder, matcha powder, almond butter, hemp seeds and cinnamon.
- Process until the mixture comes together in a sticky dough. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 2 1/2cm in diameter. Wet hands slightly to roll into the shredded coconut. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
