Monka® - Blue Matcha (Organic)

10 premium ingredients for vibrant energy

Monka Balls Blue Matcha embody the perfect meeting point between Japanese wellness tradition and modern nutritional innovation. With their uniquely captivating blue-green colour and superfood-rich composition, these energy balls are far more than just a snack: they’re a true vitality ritual. Handcrafted in Lyon, they capture the essence of nature’s most powerful plants.

🌴 Organic Dates: The ultra‑nutritious natural sweet base. Dates are the energetic foundation of these balls, bringing a caramel-like sweetness with no added refined sugar. High in fibre (around 7g per 100g), they support digestion and ensure a gradual release of energy. Their mineral content is impressive: potassium (696mg per 100g, essential for nervous and muscular balance), magnesium (a natural anti‑fatigue), iron and calcium. Dates also contain antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress. They’re the slow, healthy fuel that underpins the whole recipe.

🌰 Organic Almond Powder: Creamy, protein‑rich goodness. Almonds provide high‑quality plant protein (around 20g per 100g), heart‑healthy monounsaturated fats, and a uniquely smooth texture. They’re also an excellent source of vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant that protects skin and cells), magnesium (anti‑stress, energising), calcium and fibre. Almonds promote long‑lasting satiety and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. In this recipe, they create the melt‑in‑the‑mouth structure and add deep, indulgent flavour.

🌾 Organic Gluten‑Free Oat Flour: Smart complex carbs. Used as flour rather than flakes, oats here bring a finer, more homogeneous texture. Rich in beta‑glucans (soluble fibres that stabilise blood sugar), they provide steady energy without sugar spikes. Oats are also a source of plant protein, magnesium, iron and B vitamins (essential for energy metabolism). Their gluten‑free certification makes them accessible to everyone. This is the ingredient that truly keeps you full, for longer.

🍫 Organic Cocoa Powder: The ultimate indulgent antioxidant. Pure cocoa adds an intense, unsweetened chocolate dimension along with outstanding nutritional richness. It’s one of the foods highest in antioxidant polyphenols (which fight cellular ageing), magnesium (anti‑stress, good for heart and muscles), and theobromine (a gentle stimulant that improves mood and focus). Cocoa also contains iron, zinc and fibre. Here, it pairs perfectly with matcha to create an energising yet comforting profile.

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

🧂 Guérande Fleur de Sel: The natural flavour booster. Just a pinch is enough to completely transform the taste profile! Fleur de sel amplifies the flavours of matcha, cocoa and chocolate, creates an addictive sweet‑salty contrast, and provides natural minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium). Harvested by hand from the Guérande salt marshes in Brittany, it’s an exceptional, unrefined salt rich in trace elements. Its role is subtle but crucial: it balances the whole and prevents any flavour monotony.

🥥 Organic Coconut Oil: The energising MCT binder. This plant oil gives the balls their perfect texture: neither too soft nor too firm. But it’s above all its medium‑chain triglycerides (MCTs) that are interesting: these specific fats are quickly absorbed and used by the liver as an energy source, rather than stored as body fat. Coconut oil also helps the absorption of fat‑soluble nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K) present in the other ingredients. Its neutral taste doesn’t overpower matcha’s subtle flavours.

🥥 Organic Coconut Powder: Gentle, exotic fibre. Made from dried, ground coconut flesh, this powder provides fibre, a hint of sweetness, and a fine texture that absorbs moisture. It contributes to the cohesion of the ball and adds a very subtle tropical note. Rich in iron and potassium, it also enhances the overall nutritional profile. Its calorie content is moderate and it helps with satiety.

🍵 Organic Green Matcha: Japan’s energising treasure. THE star super‑ingredient alongside spirulina! Matcha is an ultra‑fine powdered green tea grown in the shade in Japan, which concentrates its chlorophyll, L‑theanine (an amino acid that promotes calm focus and reduces stress) and catechins (powerful antioxidants, notably EGCG). Unlike coffee, which can cause jitters and an energy crash, matcha delivers smooth, long‑lasting energy (thanks to natural caffeine combined with L‑theanine). It boosts metabolism, supports detoxification, improves concentration and protects cells. Its flavour 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! NOTE: these balls contain blue spirulina (phycocyanin), not butterfly pea flower. Spirulina is a micro‑alga considered one of the most complete foods on the planet: 60–70% protein, all essential amino acids, exceptional levels of iron (ideal for active women), B vitamins (including B12 for vegans), beta‑carotene, chlorophyll and phycocyanin (the blue pigment with powerful anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant properties). Spirulina strengthens immunity, fights fatigue, supports muscle recovery and aids detoxification. Here, it’s what gives that ultra‑photogenic blue colour and amplifies matcha’s energising profile.

The result? A visually spectacular energy ball (intense blue‑green), with a subtle, sophisticated taste (earthy matcha + deep cocoa + melting chocolate), and a champion‑level nutritional profile: energising superfoods, antioxidants at every level, plant proteins, fibre and minerals. It’s the snack for modern warriors who want to combine performance and wellbeing!
