The festive season is a whirlwind — long days, warm evenings, and celebrations that call for easy, nourishing treats.
Whether you’re hosting, gifting, or simply craving a mindful moment of joy, these SANRAE recipes are here to bring calm, colour, and glow to your December.

Think:
🍒 Fresh summer fruit
🍫 Better-for-you sweet treats
🍹 A mineral-rich mocktail
✨ And your favourite SANRAE rituals woven in

Let’s dive into the deliciousness.


1. Matcha Cherries (Your New Favourite Summer Treat)

Fresh, juicy, cooling — these matcha cherries are the perfect balance of festive and nourishing. The matcha brings calm focus and antioxidants, while the cherries offer fibre, sweetness, and hydration.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cherries

  • 80–100g vegan white chocolate

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • 1–2 tsp SANRAE Matcha

  • Optional toppings: crushed pistachios, flaky salt, coconut flakes

Method

  1. Melt the vegan white chocolate with coconut oil over low heat.

  2. Once smooth, whisk in SANRAE matcha until vibrant.

  3. Dip each cherry halfway into the matcha chocolate.

  4. Place on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle toppings if you like.

  5. Chill for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets.

A festive pop of colour with a calm-energy twist.


2. Matcha Date Mistletoe (The Ultimate Better-for-You Bite)

Sweet, creamy, and so satisfying — these little bites taste like dessert but leave you feeling grounded, not sluggish.

Ingredients

  • 10 Medjool dates, pitted

  • 2–3 tbsp macadamia butter

  • 80–100g vegan white chocolate

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • 1–2 tsp SANRAE Matcha

  • Optional: goji berries for a festive pop of red

Method

  1. Split each date and gently press to open.

  2. Add ½ tsp macadamia butter into each date “pocket.”

  3. Melt white chocolate with coconut oil, then whisk in SANRAE matcha.

  4. Drizzle the matcha chocolate over the dates.

  5. Top with goji berries to create your “mistletoe” moment.

  6. Chill until the chocolate firms up.

The perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and subtly earthy matcha magic.
