Don'tcha Want Some Matcha

I am a mother of four, and as such, I am usually lacking in the area of mental focus and energy. This leaves me longing for a shot of caffeine, which couldn't be worse for my health. I do take multi-vitamins and drink Shakeology, but it doesn't always cut through the fog. Therefore, I am a huge fan of the antioxidants found in green tea powder. Now, the problem comes from me being Latter-Day Saint and not drinking fermented drinks! So, how do I get the benefits from all natural green tea, without the fermented process? Two words ... Matcha Powder

Matcha, pronounced MA-cha, is from Camellia sinensis and it has not been through the fermented process. When it is ground into a fine powder, it can be added to any recipe for a natural boost to the metabolism, increased focus, and fight against the aging process.

I was given a package of Organic Matcha from Kiss Me Organics and urged to try it with several recipes. This product is ONLY available on Amazon. I am putting a link up here, and then down at the bottom of my page for easier ordering!



The first thing I noticed in their shake recipes was they only use 2 tsp of Matcha. The don't have Shakeology on there, so I made my own. I used one scoop of Strawberry Shakeology (regular), 2 tsp Matcha, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup of ice. Put it all in the blender and mixed until smoothe. I must say, it was mighty tasty!

After that, I decided to try a few more recipes. I made the orange cocktail, butter cookies, and honey butter (extraordinary yummy) to go on some homemade biscuits!

So, what's my verdict?

Matcha is completely worth the investment. A little goes a LONG way so make sure you don't scoop with a heavy hand. I have enjoyed the benefits that come with the green tea, without having to sacrifice my beliefs with fermented beverages. I also love that I can have the health benefits of green tea, without consuming green tea!
