Matcha Bomb!
fullsizerender-10
My Matcha game is strong, y'all. I used to really enjoy bulletproof coffee in the morning before practice. But now that I don't drink coffee anymore, I kind of felt left out from the party. Not anymore! This Matcha Bomb is creamy and dreamy.
So what's matcha you ask?!
Matcha green tea is made from young green tea leaves, and is ground into a fine powder giving it a bright and vibrant green color.
Matcha is:
High in antioxidants
Promotes concentration due to the L-Theanine. Traditionally, monks drank matcha as a means to relax and meditate while staying alert.
Increases energy levels and endurance without the side-effects of coffee like nervousness.
Supports the immune system with its high content of Vitamin A and C.
Personally, I jive better with matcha as it gives me a steady release of caffeine throughout my morning, unlike the intense surge of nervous energy that coffee gives me.
Matcha Bomb Recipe:

1 cup dairy free milk (I use coconut milk, but other nut milks work nicely, too)

1 tablespoon of coconut oil or Bulletproof High Octane Oil
1 tablespoon ghee from grass-fed cows, or unsalted butter from grass-fed cows (KerryGold is a good option)
Optional
1 packet Vital Proteins Collagen Creamer -Optional but it makes it SO creamy!
1 packet Sweet Leaf Stevia Optional for those who like it sweet!

Put all of your ingredients in a blender and blend until frothy and smooth.
