Amidst all the Christmas food, there one thing I love more which is this #matcha. from @matcha.fuel using @oatly batista milk to make my daily latte.
I’ve been searching for a really great matcha and I’ve found it.. finally! This stuff, helps keep me, calm and alert, especially after lunch when the food coma kicks in.
My complexion is lovely from all the antioxidants and will be making some of their recipes like the matcha lemonade and the gingerbread latte.
Its so easy to make:
☆Either half or 1 tsp of @matcha.fuel matcha
☆I small @nutribulletuk cup filled up with @oatly barista oat milk (you can use any plant milk you like)
☆ Warm the milk in a pan, so it’s pleasantly hot enough to drink.
☆ Add the matcha and milk back to the nutribullet cup.
☆ Whizz for about 10 to 15 secs, it will be really frothy now, you could also use a milk frother in your big mug.
Drink!
You could put it in a big mug, like the picture above or just leave it in the nutibullet cup.

Redbush (Rooibos) Tea, a quick overview and 6 of it’s health benefits!
This tea is a great alternative to Green tea if it is not to your taste, and in many ways can be even better for you!
It is a herbal tea which has been enjoyed in Southern Africa for generations, most commonly grown in a small mountain range in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
It can be enjoyed on it’s own or you can add different milks or sweeteners to it to taste. My favorite is a splash of Soya milk and half a teaspoon of honey if I want a healthier tea that tastes almost identical to English Breakfast Tea or if I have a cold/sore throat I love to add a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Also it has no caffeine and less tannins than Black & Green tea so it is great for people who struggle with that.
—————————————————————————————————-
Okay here goes the health benefits:
- 1. Antioxidants. This tea is absolutely loaded with antioxidants, having an incredible 50 more than Green tea. This makes it extremely powerful at maintaining overall health and reducing cell damage. This in turn makes it very effective at reducing the risk of developing cancerous cells in the body. This tea is a reliable defense against notorious free radicals
- 2. Vitamin C and Minerals. It contains Vitamin C, calcium, iron, potassium, copper, fluoride, manganese, magnesium, zinc and alpha hydroxy acid. This makes it a very effective way to help take in all the nutrients your body needs to perform optimally, this boosts over all health and will help keep various issues at bay such as joint pain, premature aging, muscular issues, common infections such as the cold and many other general complaints.
- 3. Digestive Tract. It helps digestion run smoothly so it is great for people with IBS or regular Bowell complaints, it also reduces stomach cramps. Drinking the tea 45-30 minutes before a meal will ensure the Antispasmodic effects are working on the gut during the meals digestion period to help keep it from triggering cramps.
- 4. Great for Asthma sufferers. The tea helps to open the airways in the lungs to increase airflow and thus oxygen intake. Regular drinking of the tea can help keep many asthmatic symptoms and potential reactions at bay. - I personally have had asthma since birth and I had been stuck on a steroid for 10 years due to near constant asthma attacks. A combination of diet change and this tea has allowed me to come off of it and my asthma nurse agreed that it has helped many people. I now very rarely get asthma complaints.
- 5. Anti-inflammatory. The polyphenols in the tea help to reduce overall inflammation which can reduce pains and discomfort. It also helps to ease Hypertension and Arthritis symptoms. The Polyphenols also give it strong anti-viral properties helping to aid the immune system in fighting off diseases like the Flu.
- 6. Blood sugar balancing. Aspalathin is an antioxidant found in the tea that helps to balance blood sugar levels in the body, making it helpful for people with Diabetes or frequent blood sugar spikes.
—————————————————————————————————-
To summarize, this tea is a great alternative to others and has many health tonic effects if drunken regularly, if you want to add something to your diet that puts in lots of good stuff and little to no bad stuff then it is a great option.
Due to it’s lack of caffeine it can be drunken very regularly with no problems such as insomnia, nervous tension, addiction or other potential side effects of caffeine.
There are many other potential health benefits locked in this tea and many are being investigated, It has been shown to help in the treatment of HIV and can help protect the brain from age related deterioration.
To get all the benefits I recommend drinking it with each meal and before bed. For those of you who suffer with morning inflammation it might be particularly helpful in the morning.
