These ‘coconut matcha energy bites’ are loaded with minerals, protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy oils. Wholesome and yummy bites are easy to make. And they easily adapt to various allergies and food sensitivities: Try sunflower seed butter and substitute oat or wheat flour for the almond flour, if you will be serving folks with tree nut or peanut issues. If you will be serving anyone with gluten sensitivity, be sure to seek out certified gluten-free oats. Oats do not contain gluten, but it’s common practice to rotate wheat and oat crops, so most ‘regular’ oats have some cross-contamination. FYI, our green tea products are all gluten free and everything we sell is organic. With these bites incorporating Yu Matcha Powder, you get the calm energy boost and all the other health benefits of matcha.
