Green Tea Recipes

A very refreshing healthy smoothie

Serves 12
This is a light and moist cake that is not too sweet and has a refreshing green tea fragrance. The frosting uses cream cheese but has enough sweetness to mask the sour taste. The matcha (green tea) powder gives it a delicate green hue too. This cake can also be baked as a sheet cake in a 9x 13 inch pan or as 2 separate round cakes in two 8 inch round pans. Adjust baking time accordingly.

An interesting twist on green tea for summer.

Filled to the brim with antioxidants, my iced tea works wonders. I call it IPJCGT for short, and it's a hit in my house among the women. ( The boys haven't tasted the magic yet!)It is all I drink in the summer and I only use all natural ingredients.The sweeteners, being Honey, Unprocessed Suger and Vanilla Extract are ALL optional and the only source of calloried in the drink. You will love it! Enjoy!!!

This refreshing treat is as healthy as it is beautiful! It's packed with antioxidants and a great alternative to that calorie laden latte!

A wonderful light tasting dressing or marinade perfect for shrimp or seafood salad. I marinated the shrimp overnight. Great for chicken too!

Add ginger to taste, I put 1 tsp to start off with, but I added more in mine. Olive oil optional.

This is a sweet treat that is great for you! I have them for breakfast often or right before work to keep me from getting hungry.

Adzuki beans or Red Beans are very popular as a dessert item in Japan.

Adzuki Bean desserts are not as sweet as our American desserts. We love sugar and do not consider this high protein treat as highly as it's health benefits deserve.

Use a mixture of Splenda and granulated sugar to bring it to a sweeter taste if you desire.

Here is some great advice from: LYNNETH7

*1 tsp of matcha is as beneficial as up to 6 tsp of brewed green tea leaves because you actually eat matcha powder instead of tossing it away after brewing.

*Get yourself a decent matcha powder. Check your local Asian supermarkets. Find a container sealed with a vacuum/nitrogen lock.

*Make sure it is grown in Uji for best quality.

Enjoy! Love, Vera
