Functional Foods - Matcha
from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.
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.
