Monka® - Pistachio Raspberry

8 exceptional ingredients for refined indulgence

Monka Pistachio Raspberry Balls embody elegance in healthy snacking. This delicate, fruity flavour is made for refined palates looking for an alternative to classic chocolate energy balls. Handcrafted in Lyon, they combine the sophistication of pistachio with the tangy freshness of raspberry.

🍒 Canadian Cranberries: The fruity, chewy base of our balls. These tangy red berries are harvested in Canada and provide an incomparable melt-in-the-mouth texture. Naturally rich in antioxidants (proanthocyanidins), vitamin C and fibre, they are known for their benefits for urinary and cardiovascular health. Their slightly tart flavour contrasts deliciously with the sweetness of the other ingredients and brings a lively, fruity kick to every bite.

💚 Pistachio Cream (10%): The noble soul of this recipe. Pistachio, a delicate, lightly sweet nut, is turned into a silky cream that delivers all its sophistication. A source of plant protein, healthy fats (monounsaturated fatty acids), vitamin E and magnesium, pistachios are also recognised for their cardiovascular benefits. Their subtle, refined, slightly buttery taste gives this flavour its unique, elegant character you won’t find anywhere else.

🌴 Dates: The natural, caramel-like sweetener. These fruits of the date palm bring deep sweetness and a sticky texture that binds all the ingredients together. Rich in fibre, potassium, magnesium and antioxidants, dates release energy gradually without causing a blood sugar spike. Their naturally sweet, lightly caramelised taste perfectly balances the acidity of the red fruits.

🌾 Organic Gluten-Free Oat Flakes: The satisfying, energy-giving base. A source of complex carbohydrates and soluble fibre (beta-glucans), they keep you full for longer and stabilise your energy. Oat flakes are also known for their beneficial effects on cholesterol and digestion. Here, they add a slightly grainy texture and a neutral backdrop that showcases the pistachio and raspberry flavours.

🌰 Hazelnut Powder: The gourmet ingredient that adds depth. Hazelnuts provide protein, quality fats, vitamin E and magnesium. Their slightly toasted, buttery flavour pairs perfectly with pistachio to create an ultra-tasty nutty base. They also contribute to the melt-in-the-mouth texture and the satiating effect of the balls.

🍯 Agave Syrup: The gentle sweetener that doesn’t weigh things down. With a lower glycaemic index than white sugar, it adds a subtle sweetness that lets the fruity flavours shine through. Agave syrup pairs particularly well with red fruits, enhancing their natural acidity.

🍓 Dehydrated Raspberries (3%): The tangy touch that makes all the difference. These little pieces of concentrated raspberry add pops of pink colour, a crunchy texture and, above all, that signature sparkling acidity. Raspberries are rich in vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants (ellagitannins). Their intense, fresh taste creates an addictive contrast with the creamy sweetness of pistachio.

🧂 Guérande Fleur de Sel: The detail that elevates everything. A pinch of salt enhances all the sweet, fruity flavours, adds depth and prevents the cloying effect you sometimes get with overly sweet snacks. Guérande fleur de sel, harvested by hand in Brittany, also brings natural minerals.

The result? A delicate, fruity, tangy energy ball, with a sophisticated pairing of creamy pistachio and sparkling raspberry. It’s the ultimate elegant snack, the one you savour slowly to enjoy every nuance of flavour. A truly refined gourmet moment!
