Ground Slim it Sencha, Brewed Koni Mate Toscana and The Tea Chick's Lemon Zucchini Bread


This is the most delicious and softest zucchini bread you will ever bake. With the addition of Koni Slim it Sencha, it is the perfect breakfast treat that is packed with antioxidants and slimming power. A recent study has shown that daily catechin intake (588mg of catechin for 12 weeks) can reduce weight, especially body fat. Catechin is produced in the tea plant to protect it against UVB radiation, and Sencha is the most exposed to the sunlight. As a result, Sencha leaves have the most catechin and slimming power. I love to enjoy this bread with a cup of Slim it Sencha or a cup of Koni Mate Toscana. Here is my recipe:


Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar or 1 1/2 teaspoons of truvia
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoon of grated lemon
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon of ground Koni Slim it Sencha tea
      To grind, place 2 heaping teaspoons of dry Koni Slim it Sencha into a spice/coffee grinder and grind very small.
  • Optional - add 1 small can crushed pineapple, undrained or a cup of shredded carrots

    Directions:

    1. Combine flour, ground tea, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    2. In a large bowl, mix oil, eggs, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend in zucchini and pineapple. Stir flour mixture into zucchini mixture. Pour batter into two greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
    3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

    Enjoy with a pot of Koni Mate Toscana.Mate is widely known in South America to give you an immediate energy boost, strengthen your immune system, and stimulate your mental process. For strength and speed, let your palate explore this rich and full-bodied blend of roasted mate, rooibos, and chocolate.
