Incendiare drank French Vanilla Matcha by Red Leaf Tea

Before I get back to my pile of schoolwork, I wanted to write about the amazing smoothie I just made for breakfast. In a blender, I added (approximately) the following:

8 strawberries
1/2 cup soy milk
1 tsp French Vanilla matcha
2 ice cubes
1/2 tsp vanilla agave nectar

The way the strawberries and French Vanilla matcha play together is spectacular. It’s thick, creamy, and dreamy.

When fresh strawberries get too expensive to justify, aren’t in good shape in the store, or aren’t anywhere in sight, I’m SO grabbing a bag of frozen berries to continue with this trend. I’ve already ripped through half my French Vanilla matcha, and I got it not even a week ago.

this sounds yummy! I have a bag of frozen strawberries I really need to use up too. Maybe I will try this with plain matcha/vanilla flavored almond milk. (Gotta use up the plain matcha before I can justify buying from Red Leaf…)

Do it! The thickness of almond milk will probably give it a nice texture too. But I hear you on using up what you already have first. The smoothie idea should make that easy.

It’s a little sad. I’ve used up so much already that I think I’m going to make another order for a couple more this weekend because I’m sure by the time they’ll come, the two I ordered will be gone.

Bio

Tea pretty much pwns my soul.

Other than tea, my other favourite things in life include music, essential oils, cosmetics, movies, and, well, knowledge, I guess. Knowledge is power.

I study languages, primarily Germanic languages, and to narrow that down even more, Scandinavian languages. Biology was (is still?) another passion of mine but something in me wanted to go down the linguistics route instead.

I like my tea black just like my metal.
