Matcha and Coconut Date Truffles

Matcha and Coconut Truffles | Dietitian DebbieHappy new year! Did you make any resolutions at the stroke of midnight? Will and I are started the new year in a new apartment. The last week has been a whirlwind of Goodwill trips, sorting, packing and un-packing. Phew. Now that things are mostly out of boxes, I am beginning to feel inspired by the change in scenery. I am totally crushing on the high ceilings, long windows, and view of the city in our new place. Plus, I can’t wait to find new spaces for photographing things for my blog in this much sunnier space. No more hunkering down by the windows of our last basement apartment!

I have a delicious winter salad recipe coming up for you this weekend to help you get back on track after the holidays. However, today I wanted to share this sweet little treat that I have been meaning to share since last week. I have been so  infatuated of late with the simplicity of date truffles. I keep a few on hand in the fridge for a quick source of energy when I am heading out the door to some new exercise studio with ClassPass. The coconut and chocolate pair well together in this version – they kind of remind me of almond joy bars. For fun, I rolled half of the batch in matcha tea. I loved the fun green color!
