The classic recipe is a bit of an acquired taste. If you find it unsavory, drown it in a fruit juice. Purists will scream, but you will enjoy all the matcha benefits.

Mix 1 teaspoon matcha with the juice of half a lemon and the same amount of fizzy water. Wisk vigorously to break the lumps. Add 25 cl fruit juice, mix and drink. You should feel better rapidly!

Also give this sports smoothie a try. It’s a real health bomb bursting with antioxidants. Pour 1 vanilla yogurt in your best blender with 2 cups red berries, 1 cup apple juice, 2 tablespoons flax seeds or 1 teaspoon flax seed oil and 1 teaspoon matcha. Mix with a spoon, then blend furiously, pour into a pretty glass, close your eyes and enjoy.
