Iced Matcha Tea with
Coconut Water & Lime
If you’re tired of the usual pre and post-workout drinks
then consider this fresh and nutritious alternative that
harnesses the antioxidant richness of matcha, a very
high grade of green tea. The matcha powder is made
from very finely ground green tea buds which have been
partially grown in the shade and had their stems and
veins removed to optimise flavour and nutrient content.
What’s great about it?
This drink is high in antioxidants to support health, energy
and vitality. Matcha has the ability to boost immunity,
control stress and promote fat loss.

Add a little muddled fresh mint for an extra fresh zing and
nutrient boost.
