Flavored #motionmatcha Green Tea with Real Fruit - Review

I feel better when I have greens in my daily diet. I have steamed kale or collard greens in the morning, spinach leaves in my smoothie and at times matcha tea at work.

Matcha tea makes me feel energized without feeling jittery like when I drink coffee.

Recently I got Flavored Matcha Green Tea with Real Fruit to review.

Flavors: 

• It comes in a plain Matcha flavor. Cost: $34.99

• I got Matcha with Strawberry and Lemonade. I like that they use real fruit for the flavoring. I really do love the taste! It has a more of a lemonade after taste. Cost: $38.99

There's Only 2 That Could Use Improvement:

1. The bag was not very full. I'm ok with how much I got. You really only need 1 small spoonful for each drink. What I have will last for a long time! I just wish it was in a smaller bag, so less waist goes in the landfill. 


2. Like any Matcha it will clump up a bit. This isn't something against this brand. All Matcha's clump up. You can have a small whisk handy. I put it in a container with a lid, so I can shake it up before and mid drink. 

Will I Buy This Again?

Yes! I like the flavor. Even better is the health benefits. Japanese Match is good for me. I like how it makes me feel awake. Being a teacher I have to pretend to be wide awake, and happy all the time. This is a better alternative to coffee. 

It's Nice That This Can Be Consumed Different Ways: 

• Cold with water *Like I have shown.
• Hot with water *Great for when I'm sick, or have a bad allergy day.
• In a smoothie with other things *Just a little bit goes a long way.

Isaak liked his sip of Motionmatcha.

Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha Review

I got Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha to review. I just love this stuff! This tea is new. It comes from Japan.

This tea can be drank with just water. That's usually how I drink it.

It comes sealed up with a lid, a metal tab on the inside, and it's in a sealed bag. It's ultra fresh. You can buy their 1 ounce container on Amazon for $28. For each serving you only need 1/2 a teaspoon.

Directions:

• I heat up water in a jar
• Add 1/2 a teaspoon of KissMe Organics - Organic Matcha
• Whisk it until the Matcha mixes in, or put a lid on the jar and shake it
• If you don't drink it right away you'll have to mix it up again

 

When you purchase KissMe Organic Matcha they have a Free Recipe E-Book. 

I drink matcha mainly with water. I do have a smoothie almost every morning. I decided to try it in a smoothie.

Their Soothing Green Smoothie is tasty.

Ingredients:

2 tsp. Matcha
½ cup spinach (steam and cool)
¼ avocado
½ cup banana slices
¼ cup coconut water
¼ cup orange juice
1 tsp. honey (optional)

Blend it all together, serve, and drink.

About Organic Matcha:

There are a lot of Matcha powders in the market. What makes this one different?

This time of year many people need a boost of energy. Winter is coming, and many people are getting ready for Christmas.

• Consuming matcha green tea increases thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expenditure. This boosts the metabolism.

• Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels improving the overall quality of the skin.

Eggnog Matcha Green Tea Powder #Giveaway!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I love traditional eggnog. The problem is that it can be so high in cholesterol. Now I have found a much better alternative. Red Leaf makes a matcha tea that is eggnog flavored. It smells so good, and I love the flavor.

What I like is that it can be drank hot, or cold. I even split one serving of dark hot chocolate 3 ways, and added unsweetened almond milk with a serving of Eggnog Matcha in the boy's and my drinks. I topped theirs with marshmallows. We all loved it!

You can drink it with just milk (any kind), or water. It can be served as a warm drink, or cold in a smoothie.

A little bit goes a long way! You only need 1/2 teaspoon added to whatever you are having it in. They offer special size 10g of naturally flavored green tea powder ($10 value). Enough to make 5 drinks. 4 calories per serving.

What is Matcha?

It’s a green tea powder and the healthiest green tea.

Why Do People Drink it? 

Usually you steep green tea only to drink the water and throw away the leaves that carry the most nutrients. When drinking Matcha powder you drink the water or milk AND the powdered green tea leaves. It's a finely ground powder, so it's ok to drink.

It has a nice after taste. It does not taste like eggs. It has more of a vanilla taste to me.

Flavors: 
If you do not like Eggnog, Red Leaf has other flavors. 

1. Chocolate Matcha
2. Sugar Buster Matcha
3. Acai Berry Matcha
4. Strawberry Matcha
5. Noni Matcha
6. Aphrodisiac Matcha
7. Cherry Matcha
8. Madagascar Vanilla Matcha
9. Wheatgrass Matcha
10. Pomegranate Matcha
11. Stevia Matcha
12. Carmel

...and believe it, or not they have more flavors!

Caramel Matcha Green Tea Powder Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


I've drank Matcha Green Tea before. The one from Red Leaf is so good. It's caramel flavor. It smells so good, and I love the flavor.

The packet is pretty small. A little bit goes a long way! You only need 1/2 teaspoon added to whatever you are having it in. They offer special size 10g of naturally flavored green tea powder ($10 value). Enough to make 5 drinks. 4 calories per serving.

I had it three different ways:

1. As a smoothie- I put in 1/2 teaspoon Caramel Matcha Green Tea in the blender, a few ice cubes, and a cup of almond milk. It has a wonderful aftertaste!


2. In hot chocolate- I put in just enough water to fill the bottom of a mug, heated it in the microwave, added 1/2 teaspoon Caramel Matcha Green Tea, and stirred it until it dissolved, added a spoon full of dark hot chocolate, filled it with almond milk and heated it to the desired temperature. It was good!


3. In coffee- I just made a cup of coffee, and added a 1/2 teaspoon of Caramel Matcha Green Tea to it. It gave my coffee and subtle caramel flavor.

Why Drink Matcha?

It's one of the healthiest and tastiest teas out there. What I like is it's so versatile in what you can put it in. It's full of antioxidants, full of fiber, and helps fight off cancer. It also assists people in fighting off weight, and is a blood detoxification. It's an energy booster. Sometimes I need boosting. 

Flavors: 

If you do not like Caramel, Red Leaf has other flavors.

Organic Matcha Review

I am excited to share with you Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha Culinary Grade Green Tea Powder.  

The fine green powder in the package can be used daily for:

• Lattes
• Smoothies
• Baking

What can Matcha do for you?

• It provides 4 to 6 hours of slowly and steady energy boost. It acts as a stimulant and a relaxant. This helps for stressful days.
• Matcha green tea gives your Metabolism a boost. It heightens thermogenesis, which is the body's way of burning calories. Normally we burn 8% to 10%, and this increases to 35% and 43%.
• Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps to protect your skin. It improves blood flow, oxygen levels, and protects from harmful UV rays. 
• It contains antioxidants, which is important for the aging process. Matcha Green Tea naturally helps defend against oxidation, and many age related diseases. 

Green Tea Matcha Latte 

  Put 1 teaspoon of Green Tea Matcha Latte in a mug.
 

Add 2 oz hot water. We just warmed the water in the microwave, added it, and stirred until it became a smooth paste.

We steamed 6 oz of your choice of milk. We added the steamed milk to the already dissolved Matcha.

The end result was pretty good. I have to say that I liked it more than my husband did. I shared some with my Dad, and he enjoyed his just in hot water.

My Thoughts:

• I love that you can use Green Tea Matcha in different ways. Knowing that I can have some in hot water on days that I'm busy is great. I can also have it in smoothies, baking, and lattes, which are awesome for when I have the time to make them.
• It's free from chemicals and preservatives. 
• I love that I'm getting extra greens in my diet. The benefits are great!

Purchase Organic Matcha today on Amazon! It's original price was $39.99, but it's on sale for $25.00!
