If you LOVE bulletproof coffee and it's many health benefits then you will be bowled over by bulletproof matcha tea! Our bulletproof matcha tea recipe is made with NKD Living MCT Oil. Studies have shown that MCTs can help in the process of excess calorie burning, promote fat oxidation and reduce food intake – and therefore MCTs are associated with weight loss. It may seem like the latest fad, or the newest craze in the food and weightloss industries but fat-infused coffee drinks have been consumed in Nepal, Vietnam and Ethiopia for centuries. Today, Bulletproof Coffee is rapidly becoming a morning essential for keto fans and morning beverage drinkers alike who insist it makes them have more energy, feel sharper and lose weight more easily through ketosis.
Why Matcha?
Matcha tea has been hailed 'an antioxidant powerhouse'. One of the major health benefits of matcha tea is that it delivers a high dose of antioxidants in every sip. According to the latest research into various ingredients and their anti-oxidative effects, matcha is packed with exponentially more antioxidants than any other ‘superfood’.
Take a look at why Matcha Tea may be more beneficial than Coffee:
- Provides much higher levels of antioxidants, including catechins (EGCg), a unique type of antioxidant with powerful cancer-fighting properties. Therefore, matcha tea detoxifies the body more effectively and naturally.
- Contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that helps your body process caffeine differently – giving you a sustained energy boost without any shakes or crashing. Matcha actively calms the mind and relaxes the body!
- Rich in fibre, chlorophyll and other nutrients that you won’t find in coffee.
- Increases thermogenesis, the rate at which your body burns calories, which boosts your metabolism and helps you lose weight.
- Enhances mood and aids in concentration
- Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
- Prevents disease
- Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar - great for maintaining blood glucose levels (diabetic friendly!)
