    Super Easy All Natural Energy Drink

    May 26, 2015 • Drinks, Wellness & Lifestyle

    Super Easy All-Natural Energy Drink - homemade pure and healthy energy that's ready in 30 seconds. The healthy replacement for coffee and sugary drinks for focus, concentration and energy! From The Glowing Fridge.

    After the long holiday weekend, it seems only fitting to share a homemade Super Easy All Natural Energy Drink with you, on (what feels like a) Monday!

    You guys, this is the EASIEST way to get a burst of pure natural energy without turning to coffee or sugary drinks when you need a quick jolt of balanced revitalization. I love coffee but if I can get focused and energized with something that isn’t so acidic, you know I will turn to that instead.

    You guys also know about this new craze with matcha green tea superfood powder right?! I’ve shared my love for it plenty here on the blog with my fave Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl and even Matcha “Nice Cream”. It’s the best immune-boosting natural energy source that’s packed with concentration-enhancing vitamins, anti-aging antioxidants and cancer fighting catechins. Today I have something so simple, you’ll have it sitting in your fridge, waiting to conquer tomorrow’s to-do list.. I sure do.

    With 3 ingredients, it takes less than 30 seconds to make or to “shake”.

    All you need is:

    • a glass jar or BPA-Free water bottle (or something that you carry with you throughout the day)
    • 20 oz. filtered water and ice cubes
    • 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder (get my favorite brand here)
    • stevia liquid liquid sweetener (or your favorite sweetener; coconut sugar, maple syrup etc.)
    • fresh lime juice from 1/2 lime (optional)

    1) Fill your jar/bottle with water.

    2) Add the matcha powder, stevia and lime juice. Cover with a lid.

    Super Easy All-Natural Energy Drink - homemade pure and healthy energy that's ready in 30 seconds. The healthy replacement for coffee and sugary drinks for focus, concentration and energy! From The Glowing Fridge. 
    3) Shake, shake shake!!! Until there are no clumps.

    4) Add ice cubes if you feel like it (makes it super refreshing, especially for hot summer dayssss)

    5) Sip some pure natural green tea energy whenever you need it, and get to work! 🙂

    I have a huge mason jar full waiting in the fridge for anytime I need to re-focus – it seriously works wonders. Let me know if you give it a try.

      I made this as soon as I saw that I had all the ingredients (I made it without sugar)! The taste of hot matcha was too strong for me to stomach. This is very yummy and I can’t taste the Matcha at all 🙂
      Next time I will add cucumber and mint to my pitcher.

      Thank you!

        Hi Misha,

        Matcha is a potent green tea powder. I can’t say if it will affect your sensitive tummy or not, but I suppose you could start out with a small amount (like 1/4 teaspoon) and see how it goes. Then you can increase the amount if all goes well. I love matcha for energy, it’s completely natural and full of antioxidants.

        Let me know how it goes!!

      I could definitely use a healthy energy drink today! I’ve heard a lot about matcha, but I’ve never tried it. Does it have a strong herbal flavor? I’ve never been a fan of herbal teas, but I’m a citrus fiend so I can appreciate the addition of lime juice. 🙂

      Thanks for sharing!

        Hey Nichole – It has a distinct green tea herbal flavor but the amount can be adjusted for sure. One teaspoon is pretty mild (sometimes I add two teaspoons to a latte) but start with a half teaspoon maybe, and see how you like it 🙂 plus the sweeteners and the lime juice help with bitterness of course!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️

- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
