Energize Your Day With A Matcha You Will Love

Text: Not Your Mama's Matcha with a photo of a scoop of match

Why I Love This Matcha


Matcha has health benefits on its own, but when adding in additional powerful powders, regular matcha becomes matcha you will love!


By adding additional powders to the matcha, it is transformed into a healthy powerhouse for you. Besides benefits, the taste is great! Not bitter as some matcha, but rather silky and bright green!

A Matcha You Will Love


After you have read the benefits of this awesome matcha, you may be shocked by how many of these ingredients contain vitamins & minerals. You may be thinking "Wow, wish I knew about this sooner!".


For me, I needed an alternative to coffee, and I had heard of matcha previously. As I started thinking about matcha, I wondered if there was a way I could make my matcha better for me. After doing research, I started experimenting until I found the perfect blend for me.


While you may not love matcha today, I highly encourage you to give this recipe a try. Taste the ingredients on their own in a little water, and then adjust the recipe as needed. I'm sure you will love this matcha as much as I do!


Substitutes For Not Your Moma's Matcha

Interested in making your matcha mix but don't love all the ingredients? Here are some substitutes you can try:


  • Lucuma - replace with vanilla powder

  • Lucuma or vanilla - omit completely and add in sweetener when making the matcha

  • Milk - while I don't include milk powder in my recipe, you can add 7.5 tablespoons of milk powder and skip having to add creamer later!

  • Greens - sub any green with more of another green, you will want to make a smaller batch first as it could drastically change the taste


That's all I have for this week - I must get back to experimenting in the kitchen!
