    It's the middle of February -- have you kept up with your New Year's resolutions? It's OK, I won't judge if you have, or haven't.

    Seriously though, I can't believe how fast time is flying. I've been so busy taking my little one to his TKD lessons halfway across town. So with that said, today's recipe is for quick and easy Matcha SunButter Bliss Balls.

    Most bliss balls/energy balls/energy bites contain some kind of nuts, but using SunButter, I've made these nut-free so you can pack these safely into your kids' school lunchbox.

    I love the addition of dried fruit such as cranberries or dates to these bliss balls, but feel free to experiment with other dried fruit.

    These are no-bake, healthy, and delicious nut-free energy bites that will keep you fueled through the day.

    All you have to do is toast the oats, throw them into a food processor or blender, and pulse until they're fine.

    Add in the Natural Crunch SunButter, dates, and basically whatever you like, give it a couple more pulses, roll them into balls, and Bob's your uncle!

    Matcha gives these bliss balls an additional earthiness that compliments well with the sunflower butter. They're refined-sugar free, only sweetened with fruits (dried cranberries, dates), and a touch of maple syrup.

    I like having these Matcha SunButter Bliss Balls on hand in the fridge, for whenever I need a quick snack. Bonus? They store well in the freezer, so you can make a double batch and take out as needed. Super convenient!

    Earthy, and nutty-tasting (without the nuts), these Matcha SunButter Bliss Balls are nutritious. easy-to-make, and delicious.
