iHeartTeas Golden Milk Latte Recipe

I’ll be the first to admit, if it isn’t baking I tend to eyeball ingredients, use instinct and hope for the best. More often than not I have been successful. Not to toot my own horn but I seem to have a talent for these things. Today I am going to share with you my favorite turmeric latte aka Golden… Read more →

Pre-Op Matcha

I’ll keep this one short. I have officially entered “Phase Two” of my weight loss journey. After Gastric Bypass in 2014 and nearly 110lbs lost through surgery, hard work, healthy eating, and exercise I have lost and maintained a healthy weight. Despite all my efforts I wasn’t able to avoid the excess skin. As a result tomorrow I head in… Read more →

Now Entering Beast Mode

  Holy expletive Batman!  Made my first ever Bulletproof Matcha Latte Friday morning before a very intense strength and cardio class at my gym.  It is the only class I’ve ever taken that made me feel as if I were extremely unfit.  Sweat pours, heart is pumping, and muscles burning.  It was my intention to do myself a little favor… Read more →

Matcha Protein Pops Recipe

Through the love and care of my friends and family (you know who you are) I was… Read more →

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 6

Rough start today. Son woke up kind of early and I was so tired from all the craziness from yesterday that I truly wanted to just stay in bed. Of course this is never an option for the mom on the go. So I get up against my own good judgement and soldier on.  It helps that on the ride… Read more →

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 5

I’ll make this one quick. I plan on tomorrow’s post to be the final of the daily series. I will still continue the challenge for an entire month and will post once a week until the month is up. I would have continued daily but I’ll be honest it is a bit much for me plus I don’t think there… Read more →

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 2

Day 2: Unexpected * I’ll make this quick and will start by saying I’m not a doctor and my results are my own.  I exercise 5 days a week and follow a strict diet high in protein, low in calories, low in sugar, and moderate on carbs. I normally drank the Ito En Sencha Shot before my workout I am now trying… Read more →

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge

PREFACE My normal routine is to have a  Sencha Shot from Ito En right before I hit the gym.  A little background… I go to the gym a minimum five days a week, Monday through Friday.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I do weights and cardio.  Tuesday and Thursday is cardio only.  Weekends I stay active by doing outdoor activities with… Read more →
