The weather is getting nicer and I have started running first thing in the morning. I am not a morning person and I need some energy to get me motivated to run. I don't want to eat a full breakfast as it is hard to run on a full stomach but my body needs fuel. Forget coffee, as then I have to go potty when running. My solution is a smoothie made with Organic Matcha- Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics.
What is Matcha- green tea powder? It is my secret to great energy for running. Organic Matcha- Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics has other wonderful benefits too like:
ALL DAY ENERGY WITH INCREASED FOCUS:
Matcha provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way
METABOLISM BOOST:
Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.
IMPROVED SKIN HEALTH:
Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UVrays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin
137x THE ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA:
Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.

Wow - I've never heard of this. Does it have a lot of caffeine in it, though? I have to be careful with that. Love the recipe - pinned it for later!
ReplyDeleteIt does have caffeine in it but about half the amount of a cup of coffee.
DeleteI have to be careful with caffeine as well, it looks good otherwise
ReplyDeleteMy brother is really into matcha. He adds it to his protein smoothies. It is so expensive.
ReplyDeleteIf he uses a teaspoon a day it only costs a dollar day. Lot cheaper than one at a coffee shop
