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.
