Matcha Oats Bliss Balls (No-Cook - 5 Minutes Recipe) (1)

Happiness is ALWAYS having the Next SNACK Prepared

that’s definitely my motto and I can talk endlessly about it…. Infact, we all are big time snackers at home.

There are days when all we want to eat is snacks for breakfast/lunch/dinner, it sounds perfect for me and D, but there’s just one exception..many of our immediate family members suffer from Diabetes and cannot munch on any or everything.

From a very young age, we both have seen our family members suffering from the condition, hence we are very particular about ‘what we eat‘ and havelearned few facts’s about diabetes –

1.They have to ‘eat on time’ (to maintain a certain sugar level)

2. Eat in moderation (which is key to everything)

3. Regular exercise or light exercise is very important…and the list goes on.

So, for the LOVE of snacks, I’malways on a lookout for Diabeticsnacks that not only tastes amazingbut also helps manage hunger.

That’s how we recently came across Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes’(Chocolate and Vanilla)at our local Walmart inthe Diabetic Supplies Isle and brought both the flavors.


Matcha Oats Bliss Balls (No-Cook - 5 Minutes Recipe) (2)Here are some more facts on them (however you
should consult your doctor about what’s best foryou):

  • Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes (Chocolate and Vanilla) – Delicious way to help stick to your weight loss plan.
  • Each satisfying Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shake has 15 grams of protein to help manage hunger, and CARBSTEADY®, which includes slowly digestible carbohydrates designed to help minimize blood sugar spikes.
  • Have 6 grams of sugars and 1 carb choice per bottle*
  • Provide a good source of fiber† to help support digestive tract health
  • Are an excellent source of 25 vitamins and minerals

They have definitely become a part of our daily snacking (for the diabetic family members).

And for me as a quick shake to curb those 3 pm cravings asthey have 66% fewer sugars, making them a very smart choice to help manage hunger.

I also made ‘Matcha – Oats Bliss Balls (5 Minutes Recipe)‘ to enjoy along with them, anabsolutely no-cook snack…. justgather theingredients, pulse everything together, shape into round balls and enjoy!

They are packed with the goodness of Matcha (specially grown n processed green tea), oats, chia seeds, cinnamon powder, cranberryandalmond butter.

Andmake a great diabetes snack because of all natural ingredients.

One thing I usually follow for all my co-cook snacks, that is to makea huge batch and store them in an air-tight jar in the fridge for a quick snack.

These bliss balls are made from all natural ingredients and are absolute ‘Vegan’ and ‘Glutenfree’.

But as many of you always ask me for a small to medium size recipe, hence the ratio used in this recipe makes 12 balls but you can easily increase all the ingredients to make many more.

They paired so wellwith theGlucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes, that the first batch wasgone in a day andwere an immediate hit with everyone at home.—>

FAQs

What are matcha balls made of? ›

The base of these bites is shredded unsweetened coconut, hemp seeds, protein powder (we opted for vanilla), cashew butter, coconut butter, and a few pitted dates. Matcha is added for that bright green hue along with health benefits, including L-theanine, vitamin C, and plenty of antioxidants.

Why is matcha so expensive? ›

Today, the main production site for high quality matcha powder is Japan. The fertile soil, mild climate, and the slight elevation of the locations all contribute to quality matcha production. Already, it is clear why costs might be high if the overall available land mass for growing and preparing matcha is limited.

Are matcha healthy? ›

Matcha is rich in caffeine and amino acids. Like green tea, matcha is high in antioxidants, including catechins, which may help prevent cell damage and lower your risk of certain diseases. Some studies also suggest that the catechins and caffeine found in matcha may have a mild benefit in weight loss and management.

What is the Starbucks Matcha made of? ›

Here's the answer: Starbucks Matcha is technically not even Matcha, but rather just plain sugar! That's because it's a powdered mix of at least 51% pure added sugar, with some ground green tea added into it. To be considered true Matcha, there should be no added sugar, let alone more than half.

What is so special about matcha? ›

Matcha contains the nutrients from the entire tea leaf and contains more caffeine and antioxidants than are typically present in green tea. Studies of matcha and its components have unearthed a variety of benefits, showing that it can help protect the liver, promote heart health, and even aid in weight loss.

What is a matcha ball? ›

The Matcha Ball® Ash Leaf Spirea is a unique cultivar known for its exquisite fern-like foliage and its rounded growth habit. This plant derives its name from its bright green leaves, reminiscent of the color of Matcha tea.

Are matcha and moringa the same thing? ›

According to moringa supplier Kuli Kuli, moringa contains more fiber, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E than matcha. But in the battle of matcha vs. moringa, matcha wins when it comes to the antioxidant EGCG and the calming amino acid L-theanine (moringa doesn't contain either).
