For the Energy Bites
  • 1 cup Matcha Powder Use high-quality, ceremonial grade matcha for the best vibrant color and rich flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pit Medjool dates and soak in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly, ensuring they’re soft and plump for a smooth, creamy blend.
  2. Add raw almonds to a food processor and pulse in short bursts until coarsely ground, about 10 seconds.
  3. Add drained dates, matcha powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the food processor. Blend until ingredients start to stick together.
  4. Pulse the mixture until it clumps into a cohesive, slightly sticky dough, about 20–30 seconds.
  5. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl, then fold in toasted shredded coconut until evenly coated.
  6. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough, then roll between your palms into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball in extra toasted coconut flakes, pressing lightly so the coating sticks.
  8. Arrange the energy bites on a parchment-lined tray, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
