Looking for a snack that actually fuels you — not just fills you? These matcha energy balls are one of my go-to functional foods. They’re gluten-free, packed with plant-based protein, fiber, omega-3s, and antioxidants to support energy, hormone balance, and focus — without the sugar crash.

Made with real ingredients like quinoa flakes, chia seeds, hemp, almond butter, and matcha, they’re perfect for that mid-afternoon slump when your brain’s foggy and the snacks are calling.

Simple. Nourishing. And yes — even hormone-friendly.
