What is Matcha you say? Matcha is a finely milled green tea powder, made from the highest quality green tea leaves. It is rich in nutrients, antioxidants, fiber and chlorophyll, and as you ingest the whole leaf, not just the brewed water, a 2g serving of matcha is the equivalent of 10-15 glasses of green tea in terms of nutritional value and antioxidant content. This is a perfect pre/post-workout shake - full of energy and nutrients for recovery, with a healthy dose of carbohydrates, protein, electrolytes and antioxidants.
