MATCHA GREEN TEA
Green tea has
many benefits and recently I was in search of the Matcha Green Tea, powder-form,
to add in my smoothies. As stated on my blog before, I am a ‘huge’ smoothie fan
and often incorporate healthy additions in my blends. My favorite smoothie shop
uses Matcha Green Tea in one of their wellness smoothies. Be careful when
adding various ingredients due to calories adding up fast. There are plenty
apps designed to tally up each item and its caloric value that you may deem useful.
I purchased this at Whole Foods (5.5 oz. $19.99) A little pricey but most healthy
foods are more expensive than those barely containing any nutritional value. If
you are a tea drinker and love the benefits of green tea, give this a try. Next
to water, teas are the next best thing. Don’t forget about the fat-burning
properties associated with green tea over time, so drink up.

The
website purports that a single serving contains 10-15 times the
overall nutrients & 100 times more antioxidants of traditional green,
white, black, rooibos and yerba mate teas. Daily consumption may help
strengthen the immune system by protecting against free radicals and
terminating their damaging effects. The high concentrations of L-theanine, an
amino acid known to help relax the mind, also improve cognition and mood while
reducing physical and mental stress.

is a powerful detoxifier which aids in eliminating heavy metals, chemicals and
toxins from the body. The plant leaves produce high levels of this.
