Ingredients That Make the Magic Happen
Every ingredient in this recipe has a purpose. Together, they create a snack that’s both nourishing and delicious:
Pistachio Butter: Smooth, creamy, and full of heart-healthy fats and plant protein.
Matcha Powder: Known for its antioxidants and gentle caffeine boost, matcha brings an earthy, energizing touch to these protein balls.
Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener that adds a hint of caramel-like sweetness without refined sugars.
Plant Protein: I used Warrior from Ancestral Superfoods, but any plant-based protein powder will work perfectly.
Almond Flour: Adds a subtle nutty flavor while holding everything together.
Crushed Pistachios (optional): For a crunchy, colorful coating that takes the presentation up a notch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine almond flour, pistachio butter, matcha powder, maple syrup, and plant protein. Blend until smooth.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands.
If desired, roll each ball in crushed pistachios for extra texture and flavor.
Place the protein balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
