My Favorite Keto-Friendly Matcha and Green Tea Recipes!

I’ve been loving matcha for the last year or so and when you’re keto or trying to be low carb, it’s important to be careful because most matcha powders at places like Starbucks are loaded with sugar. So I like to make my own with Tenzo Tea’s matcha powder which is 100% sugar free.

Tenzo is 100% pure, organic ceremonial matcha green tea powder. It's cultivated in Kagoshima, Japan by a 12th generation tea master whose family has nearly 400 years of matcha making expertise.

The benefits include:

  • Caffeine - boosts energy, focus, & memory

  • L-theanine - reduces mental and physical stress

  • Antioxidants - boosts immunity and reduces inflammation

They have a few different bundles on the Tenzo site:

  • The Modern Bundle - comes with a electric frother and the green tea powder (pictured above)

  • Active Matcha Kit - comes with a shaker bottle and the green tea powder, this one is great if you’re on the go

  • Matcha Starter Kit - comes with bamboo whisk and the green tea powder, great if you like the wrist workout instead of the electric frother

Save 15% off with the discount code below.

Tenzo is the highest quality matcha for less than $1 / serving so it’s way more affordable than going to Starbucks every day, so I love adding it to lattes, tea, smoothies and more. Tenzo is also organic, vegan, paleo, kosher and gluten free.

  • The Power of Green Tea Antioxidants: Matcha is loaded with a rare and powerful group of natural polyphenol antioxidants called Catechins that work to prevent oxidative damage to cells and reduce your risk of cancer according to the National Cancer Institute, the catechins in Matcha green tea are so powerful that they may actually reduce the risk of cancer, making Matcha green tea one of the top natural cancer treatment options out there.

  • Matcha Improves Your Skin: Green Tea improves your skin complexion and makes your skin healthy. The antioxidants in green tea neutralize free radicals in the skin and fight signs of aging (sagging, sun damage, and wrinkles) while also reducing swelling and puffiness.

  • Energy! Tenzo’s matcha green tea will provide you with 36mg of caffeine per serving. 72mg of caffeine for every 1 level teaspoon of powder that you use. Matcha is perfect if you are looking for an extended 4-6 hour energy boost to focus and be productive. There are no jitters, spikes or headaches like you might have experienced previously with coffee. And the best part is, if you’re looking for a larger energy boost, all you have to do is use more Matcha!

  • Matcha Supports Weight Loss: The antioxidants and caffeine in Matcha work together to boost daily metabolism and increase the rate at which the body utilizes fat as an energy source. Drink Matcha daily to pick the lock on those hard to reach fat cells and burn more calories during your next workout.

  • The Benefits of Chlorophyll: The process of controlling the light and shading the Matcha green tea leaves during the last few weeks of the growing cycle has an extraordinary impact on the chlorophyll levels. Chlorophyll is known to be a great detoxifier because of its ability to naturally eliminate chemicals and heavy metals from the body.
