Do you Matcha?
Matcha is made from the powdered leaf of ๐ค๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ข ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ด, which is the same plant that all black, green and white teas come fromโ๐ต
As you drink the whole leaf, instead of just the leaf infusion, it does have a few extra nutrients compared with regular tea or green tea๐
It has some vitamin A, in the form of the alpha-carotene, and has decent amounts of vitamin C, iron, potassium and B1. It's got huge amounts of vitamin K (about 232mcg per cup), something to be aware of if you take blood thinning medication.
Matcha does have caffeine, less than in coffee, but more than in a regular green tea, but you also get the calming effects of the amino acid theanine, so it should give you a nice lift but without the jitters.
For this recipe we wanted to jazz up our daily Pro-d dose by turning it into an invigorating and healthy smoothie.
