Mint Matcha Smoothie

Mint Matcha Smoothie or what some people like to call, the Shamrock Shake! It’s a creamy, refreshing smoothie you can have for breakfast, pre/post-workout shake, or as a dessert! This smoothie is plant-based, naturally sweetened with bananas, and made with only 6-ingredients!

If you love all things mint, then you will love this smoothie. This recipe uses fresh mint and/or peppermint extract depending on your mint preference. My favorite addition of mint flavor is combining fresh mint leaves and CBD peppermint oil drops - so tasty!

Peppermint Mocha Roll Ups

If you find seasonal drinks like Starbucks peppermint mocha or homemade hot cocoa with a peppermint stick intriguing during the holidays then look no further!

These roll ups are reminiscent of fried cheesecake sans refined sugar, traditional flour, rancid oils, and dairy - all with a seasonal twist! Made with only five natural ingredients, using avocado oil spray instead of deep-frying, and using healthier sugar-laden swaps, not only is this a healthy treat, but it shows you how easy it is to make healthy swaps when it comes to desserts!

Matcha powder can stand on its own, but why we can take it up a notch by adding cordyceps mushrooms, ashwagandha, ginger, and wheatgrass.
