Matcha Collagen Latte
This matcha collagen latte is naturally sweetened and made with just 3 ingredients: nut milk, matcha collagen powder, and ice. It’s one of the top jitter-free caffeinated drinks known to man.
Matcha is a Japanese powdered green tea that spans back two thousand years. What makes it unique is the way that it’s grown…
During the last 30 days of harvest, the green tea bushes are shaded from direct sunlight using bamboo mats. This shading method is what creates the natural compounds of the plant—increasing the amount of caffeine, antioxidants, and L-theanine that the leaves hold. It’s also what creates matcha’s vibrant green color and non-bitter taste.
Matcha is definitely unique. But there’s one superpower this green powder harnesses: Energy—without the jitters.
Thanks to its generous serving of L-theanine—a calming amino acid—you get the energizing benefits of caffeine, plus the soothing amino acid, L-theanine.
So if you’re one who gets jitters and heart palpitations from their morning cup of coffee, this matcha collagen latte may be the solution you never knew you needed.
