    what is matcha powder?

    matcha is a high-grade green tea ground into powdered form.

    "Zen monks celebrated it for its ability to help them focus during long periods of sitting meditation. Samurai warriors partook of it before battle to gain mental alertness and clarity.

    ...and today, many people from around the world enjoy a bowl of matcha for the pleasure it provides as well as its positive effects on mood, energy, and general health."

    what are the benefits of matcha powder?

    matcha provides the benefit of a positive mood, good energy and general health. personally, i've found that my mood is always better after having matcha along with a boost of energy to get me through my work and the rest of the day ahead!

    however, there are other benefits to matcha powder.

    powdered matcha contains antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. these health benefits cannot be found in any other food, drinks, or traditional green tea.

    visit matcha.com's health benefits page to learn more specifics on these health benefits. from anxiety and stress to sports, heart health and immunity - they cover it all!

    frequently asked questions

    what if i don't have hemp seeds or chia seeds? do i have to add them?

    you don't have to add them and don't need to change anything about the recipe! they are mainly added for the nutritional benefits that they both offer.

    if i don't have coconut water, what other liquid can i use?

    what other additions could i have with this smoothie?

    you could also add in nut butters or ground flax seeds! another option is to add granola under and on top of the smoothie for a nice crunch.

    can i make this ahead of time?

    you can but fresh is always best! i wouldn't make more ahead of time than the day before.

    how can this smoothie be stored?

    i would store in a mason jar or other sealed cup to maintain it's freshness until you are ready to enjoy.

    can i use this recipe as a smoothie bowl base?

    yes! and i highly recommend it because it truly is delicious. top with granola, fresh fruit, coconut, nuts, nut butter, seeds and any other toppings of your choice.
