Monka® - Blue Matcha (Organic)

10 noble ingredients for vibrant energy

The Monka Balls Blue Matcha embody the perfect meeting of Japanese wellness tradition and modern nutrition innovation. With their captivating blue-green color and a rich blend of superfoods, these energy balls are so much more than a simple snack: they’re a true ritual of vitality. Handcrafted in Lyon, they capture the essence of nature’s most powerful plants.

🌴 Organic Dates : The naturally sweet, ultra-nourishing base. Dates are the energy foundation of these balls, delivering a caramel-like sweetness without any refined sugar added. Rich in fiber (about 7g per 100g), they support digestion and help ensure a gradual release of energy. Their mineral content is impressive: potassium (696mg per 100g, essential for nervous and muscle balance), magnesium (a natural anti-fatigue), iron, and calcium. Dates also contain antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. It’s the slow, healthy fuel that brings the entire recipe together.

🌰 Organic Almond Powder : Creamy, protein-rich goodness. Almonds provide quality plant proteins (about 20g per 100g), beneficial mono-unsaturated fats that help support heart health, and a uniquely smooth, comforting texture. They’re also an excellent source of vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin and cells), magnesium (anti-stress, energizing), calcium, and fiber. Almonds help promote lasting satiety and support healthy cholesterol levels. In this recipe, they create the melt-in texture and add a delicious depth of flavor.

🌾 Organic Gluten-Free Oat Flour |: Smart complex carbs. Turned into flour instead of flakes, the oats deliver a finer, more even texture here. Rich in beta-glucans (soluble fibers that help stabilize blood sugar), they ensure steady energy without sugar spikes. Oats are also a source of plant proteins, magnesium, iron, and B vitamins (essential for energy metabolism). Their gluten-free certification makes them accessible to everyone. It’s the key ingredient that truly keeps you feeling satisfied for longer.

🍫 Organic Cocoa Powder : The ultimate gourmet antioxidant. Pure cocoa brings an intense, indulgent chocolate dimension—without being sweet—and an exceptional nutritional richness. It’s one of the most polyphenol-rich foods with antioxidant action (helping fight cellular aging), along with magnesium (anti-stress, good for the heart and muscles) and theobromine (a gentle stimulant that enhances mood and concentration). Cocoa also contains iron, zinc, and fiber. Here, it pairs beautifully with matcha to create an energizing and comforting profile.

🍫 Organic Dark Chocolate : Rich, wholesome indulgence. This organic dark chocolate is made simply with cocoa, cane sugar, cocoa butter, and a vanilla extract—no lecithin, no additives. It delivers a melt-in-your-mouth texture and vanilla notes that soften the natural bitterness of matcha and cocoa. Dark chocolate (rich in cocoa) is known for its cardiovascular benefits, its antioxidants, and its positive effect on mood thanks to the endorphins it helps release. It’s what makes these balls irresistibly delicious—while staying healthy.

🧂 Guérande Fleur de Sel : The natural flavor enhancer. Just a pinch is enough to completely transform the taste profile! Fleur de sel boosts the flavors of matcha, cocoa, and chocolate, creates an addictive sweet-salty contrast, and provides natural minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium). Harvested craft-style from the salt marshes of Guérande in Brittany, it’s an exceptional, unrefined salt rich in trace elements. Its role is subtle but crucial: it balances everything and prevents any hint of palate monotony.

🥥 Organic Coconut Oil : The energizing binder with MCT. This plant-based oil gives the balls their perfect texture: not too soft, not too firm. But what really makes it stand out is its composition of medium-chain fatty acids (MCT): these particular lipids are quickly absorbed and used as an energy source by the liver, without being stored as body fat. Coconut oil also helps the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K) found in the other ingredients. Its neutral flavor doesn’t mask the subtle notes of matcha.

🥥 Organic Coconut Powder The soft, exotic fiber. Made from dried, ground coconut pulp, this powder provides fibers, a gentle sweetness, and a fine texture that absorbs moisture. It helps bring the ball together and adds a very subtle tropical touch. Rich in iron and potassium, it also supports your overall nutrition profile. Its calorie contribution is moderate and it helps with satiety.

🍵 Organic Green Matcha : The energizing Japanese treasure. The star super-ingredient with spirulina! Matcha is an ultra-fine powdered green tea, grown in the shade in Japan, which helps concentrate its chlorophyll content, L-theanine (an amino acid that supports calm focus and helps reduce stress) and catechins (powerful antioxidants, especially EGCG). Unlike coffee, which can cause jitters and energy crashes, matcha offers a smooth, long-lasting energy (thanks to natural caffeine combined with L-theanine). It boosts metabolism, supports detoxification, improves concentration, and helps protect cells. Its flavor is vegetal, slightly bitter, earthy, and umami. It’s the green soul of these balls.

🌀 Organic Blue Spirulina : The superfood that makes all the difference! WARNING: these balls contain de la blue spirulina (phycocyanin), and not butterfly pea flower. Spirulina is a microalga considered one of the most complete foods on the planet: 60–70% protein, all essential amino acids, exceptional richness in iron (ideal for active women), in B vitamins (including B12 for vegans), in beta-carotene, chlorophyll, and phycocyanin (the blue pigment with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties). Spirulina strengthens the immune system, helps fight fatigue, supports muscle recovery, and helps with detoxification. Here, it’s the one that gives that wonderfully photogenic blue color and enhances the energizing profile of the matcha.

The result? A visually spectacular energy ball (intense blue-green), with a subtle, sophisticated taste (earthy matcha + deep cocoa + melting chocolate), and a champion nutrition profile: energizing superfoods, antioxidants everywhere, plant proteins, fibers, minerals. The snack for modern warriors who want to combine performance and well-being!
