Fun fact: I used to work for a snack ball company\u2026 that\u2019s how obsessed with energy balls I was\/am! When they first started, I would do demos in local grocery stores to introduce people to the product. One of the most popular questions was, \u201cWhy do you call them energy balls?\u201d So let\u2019s dive into that…<\/span><\/p>\n

These balls are made from real, whole foods! Sure, any snack or drink could give you energy (think of it as fuel for your body) but these balls will give you sustained energy. They are packed with healthy fat and fiber which slow down the blood sugar spike <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> the matcha adds a little natural caffeine! Plus chocolate…who doesn’t love chocolate?<\/span><\/p>\n

What is matcha?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Matcha is a green tea powder that originates from Japan. It is a finely ground powder that is made from dried tea leaves. It\u2019s rich with antioxidants and studies have shown that it can help with liver health, heart health and brain function. (<\/span>Source<\/span><\/a>) It does have caffeine but I find that it impacts me more mildly than coffee does.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
