Prep Time: 15 minutes + chilling
Servings: depends on size but about 10-12
Chill Time: 15-20min
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
¼ cup pistachios
2 tsp matcha powder
2–3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional coating:
½ cup dark chocolate chips or bar (melted)
1 tsp coconut oil (for smoother dipping)
Directions:
Blend it up: In a food processor, pulse pistachios until finely chopped. Add coconut, matcha, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend until a sticky dough forms. It should hold its shape when pressed.
Scoop + chill: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small mounds. Place on a lined tray and chill in the fridge or freezer for 15–20 minutes.
Chocolate dip (optional but heavenly): Melt chocolate with coconut oil. Dip bottoms of each bite, or coat fully. Place back on the tray and refrigerate until set.
perks:
For my snack queens, these matcha treats delivers mood support and antioxidants, while pistachios provide healthy fats and glow-from-within energy. These hit every note: creamy from the coconut, earthy from the matcha, a little crunch from pistachios, and that luxe layer of chocolate to tie it all together. They're the kind of treat that makes you feel both grounded and indulgent, all in one bite.
