This year, I made it a goal to eat my meals. After this blog started to pick up, I focused a lot on recipe creation. This has lead me to become too tired to make real meals.
Now, let’s be honest, I still ate. But instead of eating a complete meals, I had bites of cakes and cookies here and there. They tasted so good and they didn’t require any extra work so they were super appealing to me.
By the end of last year, I started becoming so tired. I knew that my Ehlers Danlos Syndrom has a lot to do with it but I wasn’t helping with my poor nutrition.
So at the beginning of this year, I made it a point to start having one green smoothie a day. The green smoothie is here to help me get as many nutritious vitamins and minerals without it being too hard to make.
This is the best matcha smoothie for weight loss!
Since I started this I have been feeling a lot more energized. I Still snack on cake and cookies from tie to time but I don’t do it for every meal, or as often as I used to last year.
The coolest part is that drink actually tastes good. It is not overpowering with matcha powder. I tried to make sure that the matcha is there just for the benefits, but whenever I want an extra kick of matcha, I add a bit more for flavor.
I have a few more green smoothies that I rotate during the week and would love to know if you guys would be interested in more green smoothie recipes to try this green smoothie trend with me let me know in the comments below!
