Matcha Green Energy Smoothie Bowl

Another smoothie bowl! This hot weather makes me crave these tasty treats on a daily basis. Matcha Yu brand green tea powder is, again, the star of the show here. I honestly just can't get enough of their premium product, it's truly fantastic and of the highest standard.

Matcha green tea powder has seen an incredible boost in popularity in the past few years, and for good reason. It has a unique flavour, a beautiful colour, and is associated with a plethora of health benefits. Matcha green tea powder is made from the entire green tea leaf, and therefore packs a hefty punch of free-radical intercepting antioxidants, and numerous studies have shown it to prevent cancer, liver disease, and aids in the maintenance of healthy cognitive function and heart function. Read more about the benefits of matcha green tea powder here.

Although matcha green tea powder has proved time and time again that it is a superfood, there are health warnings associated with consuming too much of it. For example, although it has been linked to the protection of the liver, if taken in high doses for a long period of time it can actually CAUSE liver damage, and in rare cases, liver failure. If you suffer from anemia, glaucoma, anxiety, bleeding disorders, have a heart condition, diabetes, high blood pressure, IBS, liver disease, or osteoporosis read this article carefully and check with your physician before consumption.
