Functional Foods - Matcha

Have you tried Matcha?  It's a finely ground green tea powder from the Tencha leaf.  It's a powerhouse.

You can mix it with hot water which is the traditional way to prepare it.  It's pretty bitter tasting.

The most popular was to drink it is in a latte.  Starbucks makes one but it's pretty sweet.  It's tastier with almond milk and has less sugar.

You can also add matcha powder to a smoothie to get it in there!

Benefits are great for lowering cholesterol, preventing heart disease, losing weight, and preventing diabetes.
