Learn how to make your own energy drink with this recipe. Check out the article we found over at Delighted Momma.

Many people are accustomed to buying instant energy drinks available in supermarkets, gas stations and convenience stores today. Through the years, these products – which come in innumerable varieties of brands – have increasingly become popular because of their promise to boost one’s level of energy for an extended period of time.

Though they really work at increasing your energy level (due to a huge shot of caffeine), you can never quite be assured that they are safe to take – because many of them contain all kinds of artificial ingredients. But did you know that you can actually create your own natural energy drink at home?

We’ve just found an ultra-simple “instant” recipe that can help you in boosting your energy levels without artificial additives. Basically, matcha (green tea powder) is the main ingredient of this special energy drink. Research shows that regular intake of matcha green tea powder offers amazing health benefits to the body.

I recently discovered matcha green tea powder and it is awesome! There is no brewing, there is no waiting and if you do it just like I show below, it is a completely natural instant way to get some energy.  I have been drinking this throughout the day or right before I go for a run and I can tell a major difference as compared to when I drink coffee.  I don’t feel jittery and cracked out of my mind. You coffee drinkers know what I am talking about.  I feel alert, focused and have a ton of energy to do whatever I need to do.

What you need:

• An empty reusable water bottle.  *I used a glass bottle so you can actually see the green tea, but I usually put mine in a BPA free water bottle that I bring with me everywhere.
• Matcha green tea powder.  You can find this at most health food stores, specialty Asian markets and online here.
• Liquid stevia.  Optional but I think it makes it taste amazing.

Directions:

1. Fill your water bottle up to almost the very top.
2. Add 1/4 tsp of matcha powder for every 8-20 ounces of water.  Add a few drops of liquid stevia.
3. Put the lid on and shake shake shake until everything has dissolved.  That’s it!
4.  Enjoy 🙂

So easy right?  All you do is add and shake!  This is my new favorite thing to drink for energy.  It tastes light, refreshing and has the perfect amount of sweetness without any unnecessary calories.
