Green Tea Frapps.
Green Tea Mochi.
GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Scroll to the end…)
__________________________________________________________
This weekends mission has been accomplished! THIS is how you convert a green tea skeptic into green tea lover..
A Homemade Green Tea Frapp with Boba!!!
Simply place 1 tsp green tea powder, 2 tsp sugar (I used coconut palm sugar), 2 tsp powdered coffee creamer, 1oz vanilla syrup, 4oz vanilla soy milk and lotsa ice in a blender and blend until smooth!
YUMMY!!!! I had to make 3 glasses of these for the same person in a day. 
***
Anyway, let’s get on with some weekend eats!!!
Sunday Brunch @ Rockit Bar & Grill
GO for the food, NOT for the service. Enough said.
I ordered my favorite brunch dish in the world - Smoked salmon eggs benedict!! I’m not a fan of what I think is “tasteless” worcheshire sauce, so I asked for it on the side. The potatoes were super tasty! Hot, steamy, and very well-seasoned! I also split a Southwestern Chicken Salad with my date. 
I’ve never seen spicy peanut pieces on top of a southwestern salad, but it was unique!
My date ordered a breakfast burrito that came with the saltiest potatoes I’ve ever had in this lifetime.
We left the restaurant slightly peeved at the service, but satisfied with our dishes.
***
After some grocery shopping, we went home to snack on some green tea frapps and fresh cookies! (Never buy cookies if you can make ‘em right?)
Bake & Snack!
To my surprise (& delight) the boyfriend requested MORE Maple oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!!!! (This is UNHEARD of since he is the classic choc chip cookie’s #1 fan!!) This batch was SOOOO moist and fluffy as a result of my lack of a measuring spoon…and had a little “accident” with the baking soda.
***
Doughboy’s Dinner!
I had Pillsbury doughboy flaky biscuit cravings, and seeing that they were on sale for $1, we got ‘em to make chicken & Biscuits for dinner. Here you have “Beer bottle chicken” with super-crunchy skin.
Sooo flaky and buttery with only 110 calories each! *shame* I had 3 (and a half)!!
The biscuits went PERFECTLY dipped in our Santa Fe Chicken soup. The basic mix came in a packet and we just added chicken, cabbage, and corn.
Dinner ended with a Green tea ice-cream mochi for me and 2 for the boyfriend. I would have eaten more if this ACTUALLY tasted like green tea. Has anyone else tried this??? To me, the ice-cream tasted more floral (ugh) than tea-like. I’m a MUCH bigger fan of the coffee flavor mochi ice-cream.
Since we had some leftover Berry Chill frozen yogurt, I topped it with frozen blueberries, pineapples, and MORE QBel dark chocolate wafer rolls!!! DELIIIICIOOOUSS.
So that concluded the day of DELICIOUS eats!!

Moving on, like I promised, there’s…

I’d use matcha powder to make green tea ice cream, which is the PERFECT dessert after you have sushi.
i’d make matcha shaved ice with red beans and mochi pieces! YUM
and i agree with you about the flavor of that mochi ice cream, it DOES taste floral, i hate when green tea tastes floral. it’s just weird!
Homemade boba?! That is SO COOL!

I want to try that mochi~~~~ so cute!!
I’ve seen this BBQ sauce everywhere but haven’t be able to try it out…. so, hopefully I got lucky again!
Matcha powder? what about making matcha mousse? I mean I’ve seen matcha mousse cake out there…. maybe as you’re so creative, you can make a healthy version of it.
I’m so simple and easy to please, matcha cookies are one of my favorite ways to use matcha powder! Yummy.
I love matcha!!!! I would probably do what you did and make a green tea frapp type thing… or just put it in my oats

Oh, I’d love some sauce! I make green tea lattes with matcha powder. Mix some matcha powder in a bit of hot water, place in the fridge to cool. Then mix with milk and a splash of vanilla. Yum! I’ve had that mochi brand before – I usually get the double chocolate flavor.
Chicken and biscuits— oh my yum!
I’d probably add some matcha powder to my oat bran or add it to a vanilla smoothie with blueberries and banana.
I mix it with cream cheese, lemon juice and bit of sugar to make a great dip!
Yum! I’d make these Matcha Cupcakes with Match Buttercream Frosting!!

I would go the cupcake- or maybe biscotti route?? I hope i win- i’m lusting after that sauce!
PS: I got your message about the greek yog! I agree- I feel bad posting my faves..I’ve gotten samples of Chobani, and coupons for Oikos. I’ve spent my own $$ on Fage, and that is probably my fave, and of course most expensive!! I’ll prob stick with Chobani or just TJ’s greek yogurt for price factor. Maybe i’ll do a post about it!! Let me know your thoughts!
Your chicken & biscuits look excellent
I don’t think I’ve ever had Pilsbury biscuits before. My mom always made her own, and so do I.
Matcha is awesome, I like to make lattes
holy moly that bruch looks amazing!!! DARN-I am sad I missed out on a pita stop in Chicago! Def next time:)
hey girl! The yoga classes i’ve taken and have enjoyed are Iyengar style. They focus on the alignment, and in your breath. Those are the ones that i’ve taken at my boyfriends moms studio which i LOVED, and also at the yoga studio by my house with my mom. What I have really fallen in love with though is Bikram. I would go to bikramyoga.com and check out if they have any studios near you! ( i just looked and there are 5 studios in chicago
) This isn’t extremely spiritual, and you do the same 26 postures in every class. At first I thought this would bore me, but it really helped me gage my body better. Where i’m improving, where I need to improve, how my body adapts. Its made me feel absolutely amazing and refreshed! I hope this helped somewhat! let me know if you try them and what you think 
Amazing Chicken and biscuits! My Matcha would go into my morning oatmeal powder!

where i work. i imagine at one point we must
have had greentea cupcakes of sorts. personally

You’re so sweet. Truth is, I copy from everyone else. I gotta be honest!
I hope your company made up for the service
I like the roasted peanuts idea quite a bit!

The chicken looks awesome! Plus you can’t go wrong with Pilsbury rolls either! I love them too!

i would make a green tea frapp or maybe even put it with greek yogurt
I would make matcha green tea cookies!!
Thanks for the Shout-out…
Eggs benedict are my favorite brunch food! There’s a local place that have “beach benedict”- an english muffin with sauteed spinach, poached crab, a poached egg and hollandaise… so, so good.
I would love to make a matcha and soy milk ice cream. I think it’d be mellow and refreshing!
i wanna try this stuff so bad!!! I’d use the match powder for a cake
id make green tea cupcakes! yum!
I’d try it with my oatmeal.
