When it comes to beverages, I’m pretty much a purist.
I don’t like to drink my calories, so I pass on the sugary drinks. And on the other side of the coin, I avoid things like diet soda because it makes me breakout.
This leaves me with a very small universe of things to quench my thirst.
But I have found a new drink that I love! It’s called Matcha Now.
I’ve written before about how much I love matcha. In fact, one of my favorite weekend morning drinks is a nice matcha latte. But I’ve never enjoyed matcha cold.
Until now.
This drink is the coolest because it not only tastes amazing, but also has all the benefits of matcha in it’s purest form. That’s because the matcha powder stays in the top of the bottle until you twist the cap.
Just a simple twist, and the matcha is released into the water in the bottle and the tea is formed.
The fact that powder isn’t in the water until you are ready to drink it is important.
The teas that come to market with the matcha already infused into the water have a short shelf life. The matcha goes bad quickly and can turn brown and lose its taste.
Because Matcha Now keeps the matcha freshly preserved until you drink it, it stays fresh longer. Up to two years!
And most important, it tastes amazing.
I love the “Lightly Sweet” flavor, which has 1.6 grams of organic sugar (only 10 calories per bottle!).
If you are even more of a purist than me, go for the “100% Pure” flavor, which has no calories.
A bottle is perfect for after a workout or when I get home from work. I also like to bring it to work or on car trips. Matcha is a nice punch of caffeine that is perfect for when you need a naturally good-for-you pick-me-up.
Speaking of the benefits, matcha is full of them.
The ancient tea is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols, which have been tied to protection against heart disease and cancer. They have also been shown to boost metabolism and have anti-aging properties.
You can get Matcha Now directly from the company, Buddha Teas. A 12-pack is $39.99.
Give it a try and cheers to good health!
Because why not drink something that not only tastes great, but also has a ton of health benefits in a little 12-ounce bottle?!
