The minute I saw Organic Matcha powder, I knew I had to buy it&#8230; well, not quite, I hesitated, it&#8217;s not cheap, then I turned around and grabbed a tin. Once it was in my shopping cart, recipe ideas started to flood my imagination&#8230; and my taste buds started working. I used to love green tea ice cream, but my stomach didn&#8217;t like it as much as my taste buds did.<\/p>\n<p>So, once I arrived at home, I went on a hunt for a good, simple recipe. Since my favourite snack was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulineedward.com\/inthekitchen\/fruit-nut-energy-bites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fruit and nut energy bites<\/a>, it wasn&#8217;t difficult to come up with a recipe that would highlight the delicate flavour of Matcha. So, here it is, my new absolute favourite snack! I recommend clearing your palate before taking a bite. The flavour will explode throughout your mouth. I&#8217;m not kidding!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2611 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulineedward.com\/inthekitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/matchabites_m.jpg?resize=597%2C439\" alt=\"\" width=\"597\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulineedward.com\/inthekitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/matchabites_m.jpg?w=597&amp;ssl=1 597w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulineedward.com\/inthekitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/matchabites_m.jpg?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<p>1 cup cashews<br \/>1 cup dates, pitted, chopped<br \/>\u00bc cup oat flour<br \/>\u00bd cup shredded coconut<br \/>1 tablespoon coconut oil<br \/>1 tablespoon Matcha powder<\/p>\n<h4>Instructions<\/h4>\n<p>Measure ingredients into food processor bowl.<br \/>Process until smooth.<br \/>Pack into silicone mini muffin pan.<br \/>Refrigerate a couple of hours until firm.
