Sometimes you tell me that my recipes are a bit different, a little more original. Yes! I understand what we have not grown up with vegan diet and quinoa, and avocado was not so common when we were kids, but my answer is that; my grandmother also learned the bananas in old age. And today she considers it an essential part of the supermarket’s weekly list.
And since I made this introduction I want to tell you about a tea that I have fallen in love with and now is an integral part of my diet. Green Matcha Ninja Tea is not new. In China and Japan it is an integral part of their culture. Europe has come in recent years and has been in Greece for a few months. It is one of the most beautiful gifts you can do to yourself.
Matcha Ninja has 12 times the nutritional values and up to 137 times the antioxidant properties of green tea! It is worth mentioning that a matcha ninja mug is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea in nutritional values and antioxidant properties. The secret lies in the fact that in Matcha, is actually consumed the whole tea leaf, while in plain green tea it is distilled from the boiled water.
In summary its beneficial properties of Matcha Ninja :
-
,
- Helps prevent cancer
It is the best source of anti-oxidants in nature - Improves digestive function and enhances metabolism – The ultimate DETOX
- It is a source of Energy and Concentration (It is considered the best substitute for coffee)
- Research shows that Matcha Ninja can have significant effects against depression and enhancement of well-being
