Tropical Matcha Tigernut Bites
I don’t always snack but when I’m out and about I always like to have something sustaining in my bag should hunger strike.
I love to use tigernuts as a naturally gluten, grain and nut free base for these energy balls as their high resistant starch content makes them super satisfying, as well as inherently sweet. Paired with the gorgeous tropical matcha blend by Primrose Hill Teas, these little morsels are a fabulous mid morning or afternoon pick me up, and definitely my current favourite.
If you can’t find the tropical matcha these will work just as well with a regular, high quality powder, and for a little tropical twist swap out half of the dates for dried mango soaked in a little boiling water for 5 minutes before using.
