Matcha, Lime + Hemp Protein Slice

If you’re anything like me, I love a sweet lil something come 3 pm. This slice is a blend of everything I’m loving right now. The matcha, lime, and hemp protein trio is smooth, creamy, and fresh.

The Benefits
Matcha : supports energy, boosts mood, and metabolism.
