Matcha Madness

WARNING!!!!: IN ORDER TO GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THIS BLOG POST RUN TO YOUR NEAREST STARBUCKS & PICK UP SOME MATCHA TO DRINK WHILE ENJOYING THIS READ.

Ok, now that I've gotten that out of the way lets start of by listing the benefits of drinking matcha and what it really is. Matcha, according to Google is "powdered green tea leaves, dissolved in hot water to make tea." Being a form of powder it can be made into just about anything, for example: pudding, lattes, lemonade, pancakes, ice cream, cheesecake, and many many more. Recipes can all be found on Pinterest on all the many ways matcha can be prepared. The main reason that I love matcha so much and drink it everyday is because of the health benefits.

benefits of Matcha include:

~ boosts metabolism & burns calories

~ detoxifies

~ provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc & magnesium

~ lowers cholesterol & blood sugar

~ provides steady energy (doesn't give you the jitters like coffee)
