Green matcha protein shake | Keto drink : 

           Matcha is everywhere right now, but I’m not mad about it. Because matcha is delicious. Especially in this vanilla matcha protein shake. Firstly though, you may be asking yourself, but what is matcha?  

            Simply put, matcha is green tea leaf powder. Matcha is packed with phytonutrients that bring a host of health benefits. Like combating free radicals, weight loss promotion and immune system support. It also contains a type of caffeine that gives you a smoother buzz. 

Yeah, you heard that right – a smoother buzz. That’s because matcha contains L-theanine, a unique amino acid that assists in boosting alpha waves in the brain. And these alpha waves promote a certain sense of calm and mental clarity. So it’s no coincidence that lots of people are trading in their cup of coffee for a matcha latte.

Matcha is green tea’s grassier, earthier sister. The flavor is strong, but mellow. Earthy, but subtly sweet and pleasant. I love a good oat milk matcha latte. I love matcha in frozen treats like ice cream and matcha popsicles. And I love a great matcha protein shake like this one.
