Memory Morsel:
Mmm-matcha! With more antioxidants, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and L-Theanine than any other superfood or drink, matcha is a powerful superfood for supporting mental energy, improving memory and reducing inflammation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s said to stimulate mental clarity and boost longevity. While green tea and matcha have similar properties, the benefit of drinking matcha is that you’re getting 100% of the benefits as opposed to when you steep and drink green tea, you’re only extracting some of the available nutrients. I love to enjoy matcha in my Matcha Smoothie!
