Kiss Me Organics – Vanilla Matcha Latte

1 Reply

As I mentioned in a previous recipe post, Kiss Me Organics sent me a bag of their Organic Matcha Powder to try and review. I was really eager to use it in an iced matcha latte, which was one of my favorite items from Starbucks. I don’t go to Starbucks anymore for a few reasons, and I was shocked to find out how much sugar was in their matcha latte! Their matcha isn’t organic and the powder itself contains cane sugar and other ingredients. Why settle for an overpriced drink that’s way too sweet when you can have a healthy, homemade version for less than half the price? Continue reading →

NuZest sent me some of these protein powder samples to try out, and I was so thrilled when I saw the flavors!

Vanilla Chai Protein Smoothie

Leave a reply

I am a big fan of both chai and vanilla and let me tell you, they are even better together! Bhakti Chai makes these chai drinks blended with non-dairy milk as well as concentrates that you can buy to mix with your own milk of choice. I have tried and reviewed Bhakti Chai on here before if you’re curious about all the different varieties they have. This protein smoothie is made using their Toasted Coconut Almond Blend, but you could honestly use any of the Bhakti Chai varieties in place of it. In addition I added a scoop of Plantfusion Unflavored protein powder, but vanilla protein works just as well in this recipe. The final result is a well-balanced sweet and spicy smoothie that brings out the chai-lover in all of us. Continue reading →
