Nutrition Profile:
Matcha Powder: Matcha is full of antioxidants that can lead to an increased immune system and reduced inflammation in the body. ½ Teaspoon of Matcha contains about 35 mg of caffeine, equivalent to a half a cup of coffee - this will give you all of the energy boost you need without the effects of a crash. Matcha contains l-theanine, which can help boost concentration and decrease anxiety.
Collagen: Collagen supplements can lead to greater bone density, increase in skin elasticity and hydration, improves hair and nails, and supports joints and mobility.
Oat Milk: A dairy alternative and a source of vitamin B. Oat milk is packed with calcium and vitamin D, both essential for healthy and strong bones. Be mindful when choosing an oat milk or any non-dairy milk that you read the ingredient label to avoid fillers that may create inflammation in the body.
Raw Honey: Raw Honey contains many micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium and manganese. As well as antifungal and antibacterial properties. It is rich with polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory effects as well as antifungal and antibacterial properties. A local source of honey not only supports your local farmers, but it can also help with seasonal allergies!
