VITL & Bird & Blend Tea Co. | Dark chocolate matcha bars

Another recipe collaboration with our friends over at VITL- this time, dark chocolate matcha bars!  A rich and nutty bar packed full of the green stuff - the VITL team have done well! 

• • 1tbsp Pure Grade Matcha

  • 250g pitted dates 

  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder

  • 115g almonds 

  • 1 sachet VITL Greens

  • 2tbsp coconut butter

  • 1/3 cup coconut flakes

1. First, if using whole almonds, chop or pulse in food processor until they're just little bits and pieces. Alternatively, use slivered almonds if you like. 

2. Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blitz until completely combined. Your dough may form a ball, or it may form several clumps, depending on your food processor. Once all the ingredients are totally worked into one another (about 2 minutes), turn off your food processor.

3. Dump the contents of your food processor onto a piece of parchment paper and form into a lump. Using your hands, press the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. 

4. Wrap in cling film or parchment paper and chill on a flat surface in your refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting. 

5. Cut bars to desired size. Lightly dust with more matcha powder and enjoy!

Pure Grade Matcha features in this recipe, but how about mixing things up a bit and using Acai Berry Super Matcha or one of our other matchas instead?
