But, not to worry if that's the case with you - have a Matcha smoothie! Here are some recipes, kindly contributed by Katherine Swift of OMG Tea:-
OMG Tea - Matcha Green Tea Detox Smoothie Recipes
Matcha green tea is rich in nutrients, antioxidants (essential in the fight against ageing!!!), fibre and chlorophyll - it's packed with this, hence the lovely emerald green colour, which is good for cleansing and detoxifying your body.
Matcha is also amazing for boosting your immunity and increasing both your energy levels and metabolic rate.
