Back in September, I got my wisdom teeth out (all four!) + it took me forever to heal so I had to find a multitude of yummy soft foods to eat! ...and now I'm going to share them with you :) ... plus it's the start of a new year + I've been getting requests for healthy snacks / breakfast ideas !

Starting off with my favourite MATCHA GREEN SMOOTHIE! 

I've never been a huge fan of matcha, but I discovered I absolutely love it in smoothies! I started off with a flavoured matcha to ease myself into the natural grassy taste. The Peach flavoured one from David's Tea is my favourite! I did also start adding the classic ceremonial matcha, but if you're a matcha newbie like me, I do recommend starting off with a flavoured one or using less in the mix. 

Matcha has become a bit of a superfood celebrity over the last couple years + here are some reasons why ... 

What is Matcha?

 - it is the powder version of a full tea leaf , which means you get the full nutritional value 

- matcha powder contains a lot more antioxidants than regular brewed tea  

Matcha benefits include : 

- boosting metabolism + burning calories

- rich in finer + chlorophyll

- enhances mood + concentration  

- great source of vitamin C , selenium , magnesium , and zinc  

- aids in lowering cholesterol , and blood sugar  

... and now that you're as excited as I am about Matcha , it's time for you to try out this smoothie + let me know what you think :)
