Before we get to the recipes, let’s briefly talk about what matcha is and why you should add it to your snacks and meals. Matcha powder is made from specially grown, finely ground green tea leaves. The leaves are kept in the shade for the last few weeks of their growth, which increases their chlorophyll content, giving them a rich green color.
Apart from giving foods a vibrant green tint that looks really cool, all that extra chlorophyll increases the antioxidants and nutrients in matcha by a huge amount compared to green tea. Just one cup of matcha tea has as many antioxidants as 10 cups of brewed green tea! Matcha also contains fiber, vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium, and it’s been shown to lower blood sugar and cholesterol. It’s pretty much the definition of a superfood.
