Do you have a morning routine? Creating a balanced morning routine can help you not only get in your nutrients (hello daily smoothie), but can create some peace of mind before starting your day. Most of us opt for a boost of caffeine in the morning in the form of coffee or even better, espresso. That works, but have you tried matcha? What about blueberry lavender matcha?

Matcha, like green tea, comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. Once harvested, the leaves are ground up into a powder, which makes it even more rich in antioxidants and caffeine than green tea on its own. Antioxidants can help protect the body from free radicals, which are waste substances that can lead to oxidative stress in the body. This stress, without being addressed, can lead to various diseases including heart disease, cancer, and more.

A daily dose of antioxidants can go a long way. This blueberry lavender matcha recipe is infused with blueberries and lavender. Blueberries are similarly high in antioxidants, and are high in vitamin C and potassium. Lavender can be helpful in treating anxiety, depression, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Sounds like something you’d like to try? Let’s get to it.
