Equipment
- Mixing Bowls one for dry ingredients, one for wet ingredients
- Spoon or Spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper Optional
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- ½ cup Unsweetened coconut hydrates and nourishes skin
- ½ cup Rolled oats provides fiber and texture
- 2 tbsp Matcha powder rich in antioxidants and anti-aging properties
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds packed with omega-3 fatty acids, supports skin health
- 2 tbsp Peanut butter or almond butter for healthy fats and smooth teture
- ¼ cup CBD honey promotes relaxation, skin healing, and reduces inflammation
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil moisturizes skin and helps bind ingredients
- ¼ tsp Vanilla extract adds flavor and aroma
- Pinch of sea salt balances flavors
Instructions
Prepare Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, rolled oats, matcha powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the peanut butter (or almond butter), coconut oil, CBD honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix everything together thoroughly. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more coconut or oats. If it's too dry, add a little more honey or coconut oil until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
Form Energy Bites
- Scoop small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands with water to help shape the bites.
Chill to Set
- Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until they have set and firmed up.
Optional: Use as a Skin Mask
- If you want to use the energy bites as part of a beauty routine, mash the bites into a smooth paste and apply it directly to your face as a hydrating skin mask. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water. This will provide a nourishing, antioxidant-rich treatment for your skin.
Serve
- Once chilled, enjoy the energy bites as a snack or as part of your beauty routine!
Betsy's Infusion Notes:
Texture Adjustments: If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more coconut or oats. If it’s too dry, add extra CBD honey or coconut oil to help bind the ingredients together.
Storage: Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
Skin Mask Option: The ingredients are safe for most skin types, but it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using any homemade mask to check for potential allergies or sensitivities.
Customizing the Flavors: Feel free to experiment with other flavor additions, such as cacao powder, cinnamon, or dried berries. These can enhance the antioxidant properties and flavor of your energy bites.
These Matcha-Coconut Energy Bites with CBD Honey are a delicious and nutritious way to nourish your body from the inside out while also being a great addition to your skincare routine. Enjoy them as a snack or use them in a beauty mask to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate your skin!
