Do you love Matcha? If so, you'll quickly fall in love with these keto matcha energy bites! On a recent vacation we took a fun food tour and stopped at a little shop that made fresh matcha drinks. I took my drink with skepticism, took a sip and was surprised at how good it tasted! I knew I had to create an energy bite recipe with this stuff. Something I could eat when I broke my fast around 11am each day. My focus has improved. Energy is better. Plus, matcha is a really good pre-workout.
