being mentally ill for a long time is weird bc ur like….hyper self aware? like you notice the signs of entering an episode and you know when you’re making unhealthy choices and you know when you’re doing something damaging and you know all of this but its so natural now thar you’ve never learned how to stop it
This shit is so good you guys andddd it’s 0 CALORIES. I’m actually surprised matcha hasn’t taken off as much as coffee.
Benefits:
-promotes weight loss
-has hella antioxidants
-caffeinated! If you can’t stomach coffee, matcha is for you
-boosts metabolism
-rich in fiber (helps keep you full)
- 1 CUP OF MATCHA = 10 CUPS OF GREEN TEA (nutrition wise)
How I make my 0 CAL matcha:
Ingredients:
-matcha powder (unsweetened)
-water
-stevia (opt)
-vanilla (opt but highly recommend)
Mix ½-2tsp of matcha with 1 cup of water with a fork or whisk. I’m a lil bitch so I add 2 stevia packets and mix again. Microwave that shit for 1 minute. If you want, add ½-1tsp of vanilla. Mix one mo time and THATS IT!!
-if you want it iced, you can just leave the drink in the fridge for like 15 min and then add ice!
-optional: The matcha drink comes off as already being “creamy” but if you want you can add unsweetened almond milk!
Matcha powder is 10 cal and you want to first hot water, add a small amount to the matcha and mix it until frothy and then add the rest of the hot water.
That’s how you make it properly. It’s easier to get out the chunks that way bc eating chunks of it isn’t all that pleasant.
It has all the benefits of green tea bc it is green tea but better! Matcha is ground up green tea and you’re kind of eating it along with drinking the tea which supposedly increases the health benefits. But yeah I’ve heard 10 cal per teaspoon but that’s negligible.
Personally the matcha I use is 0 cal so I would definitely read the labels to make sure they aren’t adding anything that adds cals. Also, the method you described is definitely the traditional way to make matcha! I personally haven’t had any problems with “chunks” the way I mix it but it’s really personal preference. I’m honestly just lazy lol
