In the meantime, take the chocolate and place it into a pot making a double boiler to melt it. (make sure there is no water contact with the chocolate; otherwise, it will ruin it). Now, remove from the fridge the protein balls and cover as many as you want with melted chocolate.

Tips Tricks and FAQs

When making your matcha energy balls, I usually use a cookie scoop to keep their size consistent with one another.
If you prefer for these to be healthier you can omit the chocolate.
I love dark chocolate, but you can swap it out for milk chocolate as well. Whatever flavor of chocolate you use, be sure it is high quality chocolate.
Use a good quality matcha powder.
Don’t skip refrigeration time. Shipping it can turn into a sticky mess. If you find that they start to become sticky while rolling them, place them back in the fridge for a few minutes to cool back down.
You can double or triple the recipe.

Storage

You can store your matcha energy balls in an airtight container for up to one week.

Fridge

Store these in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Freezer

If you prefer to make a big batch and freeze these, you can because they freeze great. Place them in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy, remove your desired amount and thaw.
