Hi darlings!! Hope you are well, I know I am. Trust in the universe is everything I practice right now.

I have something very special for you today, this time a REAL TREAT! My favorite combination of flavors (except of the maca-chocolate of course!) is right now this freshness of lemon and matcha! I only use organic products for my recipes (at least 99%) and be sure to do that as well for this recipe, as matcha and lemon have a strong flavor and you get much more out of them when using organic products. They taste also much better!

If you are interested,you are welcome to listen to my podcast that I recorded while I was creating this recipe!

This recipe is:

  • 100% vegan
  • gluten free
  • refined sugar free
  • a treat for matcha lovers
  • fresh
  • oil free
  • cruelity free
  • 100% delicious!
  • made with love :)
