So why MATCHA?!
I’m caffeine sensitive so although I love to have a coffee from time to time (usual once a week or so) my body doesn’t always love me back when I do... so in place of coffee I like to have a matcha for the caffeine kick without the jitters & added nutritional value!!
I’ve then jacked this matcha latte w/ collagen for skin & connective tissue loving and added a medicinal mushroom blend for a powerful stress reliever and longevity tonic.
Some of the benefits of matcha;
It’s loaded with antioxidants, 1 cup of matcha is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea!!
Boosts metabolism
Detox’s the body
Calms the mind and relaxes the body through L-theanine which, is a rare amino acid that promotes relaxation
Rich in fiber and chlorophyll
Enhances mood & aids in concentration
Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
Assists in disease prevention
Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar levels
I’ve also used monkfruit as the sweetener, as it doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels, you’re welcome!
And we didn’t even get into the benefits of Chaga medicinal mushrooms… #staytuned
