I love using Matcha in treats! Especially for my mid-morning snack as matcha contains slow-release caffeine, which gives you a sustained pick-me-up, without the classic caffeine crash and burn. It also contains a unique amino acid called L-theanine which is the component responsible for slowing the release of the caffeine and producing a relaxing, calming effect. With half the caffeine of coffee and double the caffeine of regular green tea, matcha is a fantastic coffee alternative – a healthy middle ground. It’s also got an amazing range of healing properties including 137 times the antioxidants of regular green tea and 10 times the overall nutritional content. Matcha lattes are only the beginning of what you can do with this amazing green tea!
Matcha Maiden’s matcha is my favourite because it’s made of pure 100% Japanese certified organic stone ground green tea leaves, with no added sweeteners, additives or other nasties. Other than cookies, I love to use it in lattes, smoothies and bliss balls (try my 5-Ingredient Matcha Bliss Balls). I also can’t wait to try Matcha Maiden’s new matcha mint choc chip slice mix! Yum!
