Lose Fat with Matcha Green Tea

Matcha Green Tea

Many of us today are drinking green tea for its health benefits, but if you haven’t tried matcha green tea yet you’re missing out on a host of awesome benefits including fat reduction.  Matcha is a great metabolism and immunity boosting tea that also lowers stress and cholesterol!

What is Matcha?

Matcha is Japanese tea leaves grown in the shade to increase chlorophyll content. These chlorophyll-rich leaves are then handpicked, steamed, dried and ground into a fine green powder.  Instead of merely steeping tea within a bag that then gets discarded, matcha is dissolved in hot water where you will drink the entirety of its beneficial antioxidant properties.

What are the Health Benefits of Matcha Tea?

  • One serving of matcha tea is more nutrient dense then 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea
  • Boost energy levels up to 4 hours
  • Packed with powerful antioxidants including 137x more EGCg than steeped green tea
  • Boosts metabolism efficiency for fat burning
  • Naturally detoxifies and is a strong blood alkalizer

Antioxidant Levels in Matcha Green Tea

  • 6.2 times that of Goji Berries
  • 7 times that of Dark Chocolate
  • 17 times that of Wild Blueberries
  • 60.5 times that of Spinach

RECIPE

  • 1-2 tsp organic matcha green tea
  • 1 tsp grassfed Ghee
  • 1 tsp organic virgin coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup filtered water, boiled

Let the boiled water cool for 3-5 minutes before adding to the matcha.  Blend all ingredients for an awesome tasting latte.  I prefer cold tea so pour this blended mixture over ice!

Tip:  boil water and let it stand for 5 minutes before adding the matcha in.  This will give it a better overall flavour without it tasting too “grassy”.
