1) Matcha Green Tea Pancakes Recipe {Gluten-Free}
These deep green hotcakes are gorgeous as can be! The secret ingredient, which lends the pancakes their rich color, is Matcha green tea powder. Imported from Japan, this 100% Grade A premium matcha contains even more potent antioxidants than regular green tea. These soft and fluffy pancakes are packed with protein and fiber in every delicious bite, thanks in part to hemp protein powder. The 15-minute recipe tastes like you just found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
2) Spirulina Ice Cream Recipe {Gluten-Free, Vegan}
The superfood powder that gives this ice cream its superpowers (and lovely green color!) is none other than our favorite spirulina. This mighty green algae is a complete protein providing all of the amino acids the body needs. Who knew that you could get a protein boost while enjoying your favorite frozen treat? With coconut milk as the main ingredient, the ice cream is 100% vegan, too! Toss a handful of crunchy antioxidant-loaded cacao nibs over the top, and your refreshing dessert is ready to go.
