Hey there, fellow morning warriors and breakfast aficionados! Today, I'm thrilled to share my latest obsession—switching up my breakfast game by incorporating matcha powder into my morning routines. If you're like me and find yourself reaching for multiple cups of coffee just to kickstart your day, then this post might just introduce you to your new best friend: matcha!
Why Matcha?
Before we dive into some tasty recipes, let me give you the lowdown on why matcha has become my go-to morning companion. Derived from the highest quality Camellia sinensis leaves, matcha is packed with antioxidants and offers a natural caffeine boost without the jitters often associated with coffee. This means more energy and focus without turning into a twitchy caffeinated mess.
I discovered the exceptional quality of matcha powder from Wellness Apothecary and was particularly drawn to their Bulk 10Kg Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder. It's non-GMO and free from additives, providing a pure energy lift every morning.
