Matcha green tea juice recipe for optimum health
There’s not necessarily a right or wrong way to go about a matcha juice recipe. Below we provide one of our favorite recipes, but first here’s at least a couple key things to remember.
- Don’t add more leafy greens than you’d normally eat whole; natural compounds in greens such as kale, if consumed too much at once can put undue stress on kidneys and overall digestion
- Avoid using fruit as the main source of fluid for your green juice, you can always add water as necessary to achieve the serving size, in doing so helping keep sugar intake within a healthy range
- If you find your greens juice bitter, try lightening the recipe rather than counteracting with added sweetener
- If you still prefer an added sweetener, try a dash of maple syrup
- If you feel like your greens juice is missing on savor, try adding another scoop of premium umami matcha tea powder.
