Matcha, Coconut & Honey Energy Bites
Spring 2020
For those who haven’t baked with matcha before, matcha is powdered green tea leaves in their purest form. It is important to use a good quality blend of matcha for this recipe, as this will result in a much more pleasant and strong green tea flavour. Matcha is packed with antioxidants, boosts metabolism, and is rich in fibre. These energy bites make for the perfect healthy start to your morning or a great pick-me-up in the afternoon!
