A combination of almond butter, matcha powder, oats and protein powder create a tasty base for these Matcha Green Tea Protein Bites making them the perfect pick me up snack for mornings, afternoon, or before and after a workout.

I came up with this recipe after sharing my Matcha 101.  I couldn’t wait to find more ways to work matcha into the kitchen.  I just love the sweet, earthy, grassy flavor that matcha has and you can’t beat the health benefits.

No Bake Matcha Protein Bites

Course: gluten free, recipes, VIDEO
Author: Dani Spies
Prep Time15 mins
Total Time15 mins
Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 63kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 20 grams
  • 2 teaspoon matcha powder*
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until mixed together. The mixture will resemble sand but stick together when squished with your finger.
  • Scoop a small amount of the mixture (I used 13 grams for each ball to get 12 balls total) and form into a ball with your hands.
  • Place a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat until you have made 12 balls.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

I am not a matcha aficionado, but the matcha I have been using and really enjoying is from The Matcha Reserve.  It costs just under $40 for 40 grams.  Not only do they sell traditional matcha, they also have flavors like mango and caramel, which are made by adding a tiny bit of extract to the matcha.  If you are interested in trying out their matcha, you can save 15% by using my code: DaniMatcha

    Could dates be used instead of almond butter?

      Thanks for this recipe., Mine turned out a brownish green color, more brown than green, but maybe it was the kind if matcha I used.? They tasted good. I used a small cookie scoop and it made 9.

    Thank you for the No Bake Matcha Protein Bites recipe. These are sooo good. My ingredients were seating in the fridge, but now that I have found this recipe, I will make this over and over. Instead of using 2 tsp of Matcha powder, I used 1 tsp Matcha and 1 tsp Maca Gelatinzed Powder and for the protein I used Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder.
