Paleo Matcha Meringues
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, I couldn’t help but get festive with these delicious green delights! They are super easy to prep. Note that some matcha powders are more potent then others, so you may need to add more matcha to your recipe to get the color you’re looking for. Be sure to enjoy these with my Mint Chip Shamrock Shake, it’s personally favorite way to celebrate St. Patty’s Day!!
