The benefits of matcha & coconut
1. Stable and sustainable energy
Matcha contains caffeine combined with L-theanine , which provides a sustained energy boost without the jittery effects of coffee. This combination promotes focus, alertness, and a sense of calm .
Coconut juice, on the other hand, is a natural source of electrolytes , such as potassium and magnesium, which help maintain the body's water balance and prevent fatigue.
2. A boost of antioxidants
Matcha is one of the teas richest in catechins , antioxidants that protect against cellular aging and strengthen the immune system.
Coconut juice also contains cytokinins , compounds that promote cell regeneration and help maintain glowing skin.
3. Light and peaceful digestion
Unlike coconut milk, which is higher in fat, coconut juice is light and easy to digest .
