"Hi guys! I don’t know about you but whenever I am travelling somewhere I love to make my own snacks for the road. And there is no better, easy-to-make, healthy and filling pick-me-up snack than energy balls. This time I made matcha bliss balls. Despite my initial dislike, I am now a big fan of this super powder and I am always looking for new ways to add it to my desserts. These balls came out great. They are chewy, tender and a perfect combination of sweet and bitter. Mix of matcha, coconut and dates gives you a natural energy hit that might be just what you need when you are on the road or during your afternoon snack."
