🍵 Did you know?

Matcha is powdered green tea leaves. The tea plants are shaded for a few weeks before harvest, which boosts their chlorophyll and gives matcha that vibrant green colour. Because you eat the whole leaf, you get far more antioxidants than a regular cup of green tea, plus L-theanine, which gives a calm, focused kind of energy. 💚

🌱 Here’s the recipe… Hemp & Matcha Cardamom Nut Balls

– 1/2 cup of mixed seeds (pepitas, sunflower, sesame)
– 1 tbsp hemp seeds
– 1 tbsp cacao powder
– 1/2 cup of almonds
– 1/3 cup shredded coconut
– 1/2 tsp vanilla
– 1/4 cup peanut butter
– 6 fresh Medjool dates, pitted
– 4 tbsp coconut oil
– 3 drops of Cardamom and 4 drops of Wild Orange (dōTERRA oils)
– Pinch of salt

For rolling:
– 1/2 tsp matcha powder
– 1/4 cup of coconut

👩‍🍳 How to make them, step by step

1. Place all the ingredients (except the rolling coconut and matcha) into your food processor.

3. Mix the matcha and coconut together on a plate.
4. Roll the mixture into small balls with your hands.
5. Roll each ball in the matcha coconut until coated.
