Coconut Matcha Protein Energy Bites

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, protein powder, matcha powder, erythritol, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.

2.Add the almond butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until the mixture starts to come together.

3.Gradually add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the mixture holds together well but is not too wet. It should be sticky enough to form balls without crumbling.

4.Using clean hands, scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll it into a tight ball. Place the formed energy bite on a parchment-lined tray or plate.

5.Repeat the rolling process with the remaining mixture, spacing the bites evenly.

6.Once all bites are formed, refrigerate the tray for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.

7.After chilling, transfer the energy bites into an airtight container or individually wrap them in small food-safe packets for easy packaging and sale.

8.Store the energy bites at room temperature in a cool, dry place. They will remain fresh and ambient for up to two weeks without refrigeration.

9.Before serving, allow bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes if stored in the fridge for optimal texture and flavor.
