Matcha Chocolate Clusters
Feb 14th 2020
We love our chocolate treats, but we also love giving them a superfood boost that goes the extra mile and helps our metabolism humming perfectly during the day. It's a win-win!
If you love matcha, you'll love these Matcha Chocolate Clusters. We added Matcha & Mushrooms to this recipe to get that bright emerald color and all the benefits of superfoods in this blend. Cacao is known to give the body an energy boost and lift the mood. Matcha green tea with maitake mushroom balance cacao out with calm energy. The nuts give the chocolates a satisfying crunch. It's a treat you can feel good about.
