This cooling refresher will give you a wellspring of natural energy to start your day and replenish your body’s hydration after a hot and sweaty workout:<\/p>\n

Matcha green tea smoothie<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

1 frozen banana<\/p>\n

1 c. plain greek yogurt<\/p>\n

2 c. honeydew melon pieces (or seeded cucumber)<\/p>\n

1\/2 c. real maple syrup<\/p>\n

1 t. vanilla<\/p>\n

2 t. matcha green tea powder (I used Seven Elegance)<\/p>\n

2 t. spirulina powder (or a good herbal power-nutrients green and cacoa powder)<\/p>\n

1\/2 c. crushed ice<\/p>\n

Blend in a blender until smooth and creamy. \u00a0If necessary, stop the blender and shake the pitcher until the ingredients mix thoroughly. \u00a0Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder or after-workout supplement powder, and if it is not sweet enough, add more maple syrup. \u00a0The taste will depend on the sweetness of your fruits and the bitterness of your green powders, so some adjustment may be necessary to make it perfect!! \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"matcha<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matcha green tea is a concentrated form of green tea, and a generous source of powerful antioxidants for your body’s immune system; these antioxidants help to neutralize the free radicals which cause cancer and environmental damage to your cells. \u00a0It is a boon to keep you from falling prey to disease, and the natural caffeine found in green tea helps to energize your body’s metabolism and burn excess fat and calories. \u00a0One caution, though; you probably don’t want to drink this just before bedtime, for you will want to use all of the lovely energy for accomplishing something!!<\/p>\n

\"matcha<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then God<\/a> said,<\/a> “Behold,<\/a> I have given<\/a> you every<\/a> plant<\/a>\u00a0yielding<\/a> seed<\/a> that is on the surface<\/a> of all<\/a> the earth,<\/a> and every<\/a> tree<\/a> which<\/a> has fruit<\/a> yielding<\/a> seed;<\/a> it shall be food<\/a>\u00a0for you;<\/a> <\/span>and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so.\u2026’<\/span><\/p>\n
