Matcha tea
Why drink it: We all love our herbals but instead of going for your regular peppermint infusion reach for the hip new tea everyone is raving about - matcha. ‘Even more potent and benefit-rich than green tea, Japanese matcha is highly concentrated and packs in 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice,’ says nutritionist Vicky Warr. Anti-oxidants fight free-radical damage and are essential to keep your skin looking flawless. Plus, matcha contains theophylline and theannine – a dynamic duo that together give you an energy boost lasting upwards of three hours, while keeping you calm and focused.
How: Add to hot water or milk, sprinkle it on fruit or in your cereal or whip it up into a fruit smoothie. As well as being ultra versatile, you only need ¼ teaspoon of 100% matcha powder per serving, and one shot a day will have you feeling the benefits.
