Energizing Matcha Bliss Balls
A snack so zen, even your chaos will want to meditate.
Why You’ll Love These Balls (Yes, I said it)
No-bake: Because the oven is not your friend at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday.
Balanced energy: Thanks to matcha’s magical combo of caffeine + L-theanine (aka calm caffeine).
Quick to make: 10 minutes from "I should make something healthy" to "Look at me go!"
Kid-friendly (unless you tell them it’s healthy, then suddenly it tastes like broccoli).
Ingredients
1 ½ cups rolled oats (gluten-free if that’s your jam)
½ cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter your house tolerates)
¼ cup maple syrup (or honey, but the bees are judging)
1–2 tsp matcha powder (culinary grade, unless you like paying extra for the same thing in a fancier tin)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1–2 tbsp chia seeds or hemp hearts for extra mom points
Optional: shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or matcha dusting for coating (because presentation matters when you're pretending to have your life together)
Instructions
Dump everything into a food processor or mixing bowl. If you're mixing by hand, channel your inner toddler and go all-in with those hands. Messy is meditative.
Blend or stir until the mixture holds together like a good secret. Too dry? Add a splash of almond milk or more nut butter. Too wet? More oats, my friend.
Roll into 1-inch balls. Or 2-inch balls. You do you.
Optionally roll in shredded coconut or matcha powder if you’re feeling Pinterest-y.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to a month—if they last that long. Spoiler: they won’t.
Matcha Moment Real Talk
Matcha isn’t just for your overpriced coffeehouse splurges. It’s a green tea powder loaded with antioxidants and a mild dose of caffeine. Unlike coffee’s drama-filled jitters, matcha’s got that chill energy—like your friend who wakes up early to journal but still wants to binge trash TV with you. Plus, it helps with focus, metabolism, and not yelling when someone leaves the fridge open for the 19th time.
Matcha Bliss Ball Hacks:
Add a scoop of collagen powder or plant-based protein if you want to go full wellness warrior.
Sub almond butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version (school lunch win).
Add a couple of dark chocolate chips inside each one. You know, for balance.
Feeling bougie? Add a dash of cardamom or cinnamon. Your taste buds will thank you.
Now go forth and bliss-ball. You've earned it.
