Leave a Comment / Breakfast & Brunch, Drinks, Snacks

Enjoy this simple matcha smoothie as part of your breakfast routine as a snack to pep you up or as a dessert. It’s exceptionally smooth and nutritious and especially in summer one of my favourite recipes to drink.

One serving of matcha tea is the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea
When you drink matcha you ingest the entire leaf and receive 100% of the nutrients of the leaf Matcha powdered green tea has 137 times more antioxidants than regularly brewed green tea. One cup of matcha = 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea in terms of nutritional content.

Bring more health and vitality into your day with these unbeatable matcha smoothie recipes. As well as containing high levels of antioxidants and other nutrients, matcha green tea also has a wonderfully earthy, leafy flavour that works fantastically well with sweet drinks and desserts.

Deliciously moist and bursting with fruit, these easy blueberry muffins are perfect with coffee for breakfast or afternoon tea.

These Blueberry Muffins have become staple in our house and I often make a batch just to pop into little bags and store in the freezer for an easy morning tea or when guests arrive unexpected.

Spiced Hot Cross Buns

You know you’re getting old when you catch yourself tutting at the sight of spiced hot cross buns on sale while most of Britain is still ploughing through Christmas cake. I can’t blame people for buying them – spiced, fruited breads are delicious at any time of year – but equally, I do regret the spreading of their brief season.

My style is to hold out until Good Friday, and then cram as many as possible into my diet until they disappear from the shelves (or, at least, from the promotional hotspots and back into the muffin and tea bread aisle).

This year and the past few years of course, of course, I’ve never had to purchase them as I’ve managed to scour the net and for testing purposes only and in the pursuit of perfection, found my perfect blend. We recipe tested this particular spiced hot cross buns at an Easter Workshop for my friend’s membership club, The Girly Gang, two years ago and the recipe was a hit for all guests.
