I know that I need all the energy boosting I can get every single day, as a busy mom, nurse, blogger and all the other jobs I have. I am one tired momma at the end of the day, not to mention working night shift every weekend. When I was asked to review this Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder at first I thought, ewww, its green....but then I tried it and I have really liked it! It is a pleasure to review a product that does a momma good. I love this stuff, it is good and has given me the energy that it says it would.....kudos to you KissMe Organics! 

I mix it with my hot green tea every morning, put it in my smoothies and have even made muffins with the powder added in. The free recipe book is awesome! As a mom that is trying to get healthier, stopped drinking soda all together and is trying to encourage her family to do the same, I can do nothing but sing the praises of Matcha powder.

As a night nurse, it is amazing antioxidant stuff! keeping me awake on those night shifts, keeps me focused so I can deliver the care to my patients they deserve.

A Berry Sweet and Baked Day~

 

This recipe can be redone in a variety of ways, try blackberries or rasberries maybe? I like almond milk, but have used coconut milk before. Greek yogurt is so much higher in protein, and adds to the smoothie consistency. Play around with your smoothie to make a healthy snack for yourself or your family, kids love the color.

Blueberry Boysenberry Smoothie

• 1 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
• 2/3 cup frozen wild blueberries
• 1/3 cup frozen boysenberries
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp old fashion oats
• 2 tsp honey

Puree all ingredients in a blender and enjoy!

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, divided
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 cup maple syrup (I used sugar free)

1 cup blueberries or raspberries, fresh or frozen, divided

2. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix the oats, half of the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the syrup, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.

3. Spread the sliced bananas in a single layer over the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half of the berries. Sprinkle the dry oat mixture over the fruit in an even layer. Pour the liquid ingredients evenly over the oats.

4. Sprinkle the remaining nuts and berries over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is browned and the oats have set. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
