Creamy Matcha Elixir
Why I love this Elixir!
1. L-Theanine!
Matcha contains an amino acid called L-theanine. This amino acid helps keep you calm while the caffeine (much less then coffee) gives you a little boost. This combination provides you with sustained energy and doesn’t give you a caffeine crash!
2. Spirulina!
Spirulina is an incredible source of antioxidants, protein and soooo many nutrients. It is extremely nutrient dense and gives this elixir a much needed nutrient boost. It is also has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties to help us feel our best!
3. Naturally Sweetened!
Dates are such a beautiful option for a sweetener. They contain lots of minerals to help keep your blood sugar balanced. Because of this you don’t have an energy crash a few hours later. They are also a great source of fiber, helping to keep you regular and moving those toxins out of your body!
