Hi Guys! Happy Memorial weekend! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a long weekend. I have no plans which I am fine with. Life has been too crazy since January with my foot injury and Mom’s heart surgery. I need the rest. My plans are to shop, cook, get my house in order (<-my yard’s a mess) and rest. I love these long weekends. It makes the following work week seem short.
Today I have an exciting review, giveaway and recipe to share with you! I was contacted by Maria @ Kiss Me Organics to review their Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder. One of her friends reads my blog and recommended I review their product. I was excited by the opportunity because I love green tea.
While Kiss Me Organics provided me with a free bag of green tea powder, I was not paid for this review. All opinions are my own of course and I only review products I believe in too.
What is Matcha Tea? A powder from Japan made from green tea that’s more powerful than regular brew. Green tea powder can be used for drinking tea or added to smoothies and baked goods like pancakes, muffins and breads.
“You get more antioxidants with matcha because you consume the ground-up leaves,” explains Lyssie Lakatos R.D., coauthor of The Veggie Cure. That means you consume more of the catechins that have been associated with everything from reducing cancer and blood pressure to protecting your brain against aging. [Source]
Now for the fun! I have a chocolate matcha ball recipe to share with you that was created from this lovely lady‘s recipe. Then you will have the chance to win your own bag of organic matcha!
These chocolate matcha balls are delicious. Icreated this Melon Matcha Smoothie a few months ago. Now that summer is here you should give this one a whirl too. Enjoy!

I love me some green tea! I’d throw the matcha powder in my smoothies for an extra boost of antioxidants.
This would make a great pre-workout! I’m always game for balls. 😉
I am so excited for the long weekend! I can’t wait to kick back and relax a bit. Plus, it is the kickoff to summer! YAYAYAY!
i loved this matcha!! and you know like balls.. haha i mean bites!
Haha!
I would share it with my husband!
i love the idea of adding it to energy balls, also would be great in pancakes!
I’ve been wanting to make my own matcha green tea smoothies lately!!
Oh yum! Matcha is so delicious! I would probably try to create a cookie recipe with matcha. Have a wonderful weekend!
i’d definitely like to try this recipe! and i’d add the powder to smoothies 🙂
I would use it in smoothies:)
i would make these balls instead of protein bars that i buy. i try to make stuff from scratch for clean eating
I’m always looking for matcha recipes and these look amazing. I’ll have to try them as soon as I can. More accurately, I’ll have to get someone with better cooking skills than mine to make them for me so that I can try them…
