Every year on Good Friday I was told "don't forget, you can't eat meat today" and as a good little girl I never questioned my parents I simply went along with it.
Have you ever wondered why we're told to eat this, drink that, no fat, eat fat, no carbs, eat the right carbs. Why? Seriously, I'm asking because I'm more confused now than ever before. I can’t keep up!
Rain, rain go away come again another day. Yes, I'm well aware that April showers bring may flowers but grey days are usually non eventful and dare I say boring? Unless....
I just finished a great workout! Managed to get in an extra 30 minutes of cycling before my personal training session and worked up an appetite. WHEW! Now THAT was a WORKOUT! I looked down at my phone ....... Holding my breath ...... GASP!
One of my favorite ways to start the day is with a matcha tea latte, and this is why……
• Is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg
• Boosts metabolism and burns calories
• Detoxifies effectively and naturally
• Calms the mind and relaxes the body
• Is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins
• Enhances mood and aids in concentration
• Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
• Prevents disease
• Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar
Matcha tea is an easy and simple way to add powerful health benefits to your everyday diet.
MATCHA TEA LATTE
Serves: 1
What you’ll need:
Milk frother List
Bamboo whisk
Small, shallow mixing bowl
Teaspoon
Matcha Tea Powder
Ingredients
½ cup hot water
½ cup almond milk
1 teaspoon matcha tea powder
1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or stevia to taste
Directions
Add the matcha tea powder to a small, shallow mixing bowl and gently pour the hot water into the bowl.
Using the bamboo whisk, whisk briskly in a up-and-down direction, to dissolve the powder.
Heat the almond milk or use at room temperature, whichever you prefer in a mug and pour the matcha water. If adding a sweetener, add here.
The matcha will dissolve quickly and easily. If you’re using a milk frother, place on the top of the latte and turn on, allow to froth and foam until your desired texture.
Enjoy!
Hot summer days, a pitcher of Sangria, and a hand held fan is all you need. Give my recipe for White Sangria a try and I guarantee your glass will never be empty, BUT this pitcher should have a warning label attached that reads "This thirst quencher creeps up on you so slow your flow" ;-) Cheers!!!
White Sangria
1 bottle Vinho Verde or a crisp white wine
2 ounce Triple Sec or fruit brandy (I use Cherry Brandy)
1 cup Presidents Choice Old Fashion Lemonade
2 cups Gingerale
1/2 cup Mellon, balls or cubed
5 strawberries, sliced
1 white peach, sliced
1 orange, sliced (optional)
Lots of Ice
Chill and serve!

We’ve all heard about antioxidants and how beneficial they are to our health but what are antioxidants? Antioxidants can neutralize the process of oxidation and cellular damage which contributes to aging and disease. Blueberries and spinach are both antioxidant-rich foods so start your day with this smoothie and be on your way to a healthy, energy packed day.
