Important question: are you a sweet or savory breakfast person?
I’m not talking about brunch, where sweet AND savory is obviously the correct (and only acceptable) answer to this question. Examples here, here, and here.
I’m talking about everyday, quick-and-easy, needs-to-fill me-up-til-lunch BREAKFAST.
This is my super-trendy matcha-loaded St. Patrick’s Day gift to you.
Have you guys heard of matcha powder? It’s basically green tea ground up into a powder that can be thrown into smoothies, baked goods, or whatever else you want. And it also doubles as a handy-dandy natural green food dye for the greatest green-food holiday of the year, which just HAPPENS to be coming up next week!!
I swear, it’s merely a coincidence that my first blog post as a born-again California girl is a green smoothie.
Cross my heart. I made this bad boy when it was the middle of dreary, cold February in Chicago, when it seemed like everyone around me was sneezing and sniffling and I was like, “GREEN SMOOTHIE, HAAAAAALP!” I promise you, my bacon consumption will not decrease one single bit after moving to The Juicing State.
But can’t we have our bacon and our green smoothies, too?
Are we ready for some real talk today? Some happy/sad/nervous/excited real-life real talk? I hope so, because I am basically in a glass case of emotion.
This right here is my last post as a Chicagoan. Brad and I are packin’ up and doing the whole move-across-the-country thing, because in just a few short weeks he’ll start grad school at UC Berkeley. While so many parts of me are incredibly thrilled and excited for this next chapter in our lives (and, uh, 75-degree winters), thinking about leaving the people I love, this city I call home in every sense of the word, and the wonderful life we have here makes me feel super squeamy inside. Technical term.
