Just as Serenity and Rose Quartz dominated 2016 as Pantone’s co-Colors of the Year, 2017 has been declared the year of Greenery. The spring-ish green has been popping up everywhere from fashion to foods, especially in our favorite energy booster, matcha green tea. Having flown under the radar of foodies for quite a while now, matcha has become the most Instagrammable morning pick-me-up of recent times. Aside from looking insanely trendy on your feed, the flavor has also been introduced as a vegan and paleo alternative to traditional desserts and beverages, securing its spot on the menu of any reception with a health-conscious or dietary-restricted guest list. Here are 15 matcha-packed sips and bites that will have all of your guests green with envy:
