True to form I thought another matcha recipe was mandatory! I love the flavour of these protein balls, you can really taste the green tea coming through and the carob and pistachio compliment this perfectly.

You will need:

1 cup pistachios

1/4 cup of hazelnuts

1 tbsp matcha powder, I use Your Tea

1/4 cup of raisins

1/2 cup apricots

4 pitted medjool dates

1/2 tbsp honey

**Optional protein powder

Method:

• Place the Pistachios and hazelnuts in a high speed blender. I like to leave a few larger pieces but it’s personal preference. Place in a bowl, leaving 3 tbsp to one side (for dipping in later)
• Place the rest of the ingredients into the blender and blend. Add in the pistachio mix and blend.
• Place the mix into a bowl making sure the ingredients have combined thoroughly.
• Roll into 1 tbsp balls and place onto a lined baking tray/container and then freeze for at least half an hour.
• Melt some carob in a pan
• Skewer the protein balls and dip them into the melted carob and pistachio mix which was put to one side
• Enjoy x x

**Notes:

• makes 12 balls
• can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to three months
