Matcha & Dark Chocolate Energy Bites 🍫🍵
Two coatings, one nutrient-dense bite. Matcha on one side, dark chocolate on the other — held together by roasted nuts, seeds, and quinoa.
Why they earn a place in your day:
Matcha + dark chocolate: antioxidant-rich, immune-supportive
Almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds: healthy fats + plant protein
Quinoa + chia: fibre to support digestion and steady energy
Sweetened simply with maple syrup, finished with a pinch of Celtic salt
No refined sugar. No fillers. Just real ingredients doing real work.
