Matcha Peanut Butter Energy Balls

Matcha Peanut Butter Energy Balls a burst of nutrients in two bites!

Matcha Peanut Butter Energy Balls

I’m a member of the Peanut Butter & Co Yum Squad. Recently, they started a #mysteryingredient challenge this month in which they give us a mystery ingredient to work into a recipe that also includes their peanut butter products. Additionally, March is National Peanut Butter Month. Furthermore, what better way to showcase peanut butter than with a fun challenge! My mystery ingredient was Matcha which is a finely milled or fine powder green tea. I have never had or made a recipe with green tea before so this was a challenge!

Benefits of Matcha are (source)

  • Packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg
  • Boosts metabolism and burns calories
  • Detoxifies effectively and naturally
  • Calms and relaxes
  • Enhances mood and aids in concentration
  • Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
  • Fights against viruses and bacteria
  • Rich in fiber
  • Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar
  • Does not raise insulin levels

Matcha is a weight-loss superfood. It has an earthy taste. You can add it to drinks, smoothies, salads, or any food actually. As well, you can mix the fine powder is easily into a plethora of recipes adding nutrients and flavor.

Matcha Peanut Butter Energy Balls

I recently put together a collection of 16 Delicious Homemade Energy Bars and was inspired to work Matcha into energy, granola type recipe that’s also full of peanut butter! Therefore, I came up with these Matcha Peanut Butter Energy Balls. It seemed like the perfect complement.

My hunch was right! Matcha Peanut Butter Energy Balls is a healthy, nutritious snack option that’s full of carbohydrates and protein.

    I have never even heard of Matcha, although I have seen lots of benefits of green tea. I will have to check it out. And what a great idea to mix it with peanut butter — lots of great nutrients – and sounds delicious!
