Matcha Almond Energy Balls

These matcha energy balls are the perfect “pick-me-up” treat — lightly sweet, packed with healthy fats, and naturally energizing thanks to antioxidant-rich green tea. With almonds for satiety and fiber-rich dates, they’re ideal for keeping blood sugar and appetite stable while on semaglutide.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup raw almonds (or cashews), unsalted

• 4–5 pitted Medjool dates

• 1 tbsp unsweetened almond butter

• 1 tsp matcha powder

• 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: 1 tsp unsweetened coconut flakes (for coating)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Add almonds to a food processor and pulse into a coarse meal.

2. Add dates, almond butter, matcha, vanilla, and chia seeds.

3. Blend until a sticky “dough” forms (add 1 tsp water if too dry).

4. Roll into small balls with your hands.

5. Optional: roll in coconut flakes or extra matcha for coating.

6. Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before serving.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Wellness Tip:

Matcha delivers gentle, “calm” energy without a caffeine crash, while almonds and chia provide fat and fiber that slow digestion — a powerful combo for those on semaglutide working to control hunger and reduce snacking. Keep 1–2 in your fridge for a smart, satisfying treat.
