Matcha
Matcha is made from ground green tea leaves, and it has many of the same health benefits--including weight loss.
According to Healthline, "Green tea is well known for its ability to enhance weight loss. In fact, studies show that it may help speed up metabolism to increase energy expenditure and boost fat burning."
With that in mind, if you want to keep off some extra pounds, matcha can help you do just that.
By increasing your metabolism and helping you burn more fat, matcha makes it easier to lose weight--especially when coupled with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Matcha is not only beneficial for weight loss. It's also high in antioxidants, which have tons of health benefits.
Healthline explains, "Antioxidants help stabilize harmful free radicals, which are compounds that can damage cells and cause chronic disease."
However, matcha is very high in caffeine, so having it early in the morning is probably best to maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
