Notes
Benefits: Chia seeds are packed with nutrients. They contain calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, Vit. B1 and B3, fibers and valuable healthy fats, including alpha-linolenic acid(ALA)
ALA is a powerful antioxidant, protects the liver, has an important role in the production of energy at the cellular level, and studies show it can be helpful for diabetes. It increases insulin sensitivity and manages glucose levels.
2 tablespoons provide 5 mg ALA.
About 30 mg a day is shown to have significant health benefits.
Other sources are broccoli, sprouts, peas, organ meats, and spinach.
Matcha powder contains both caffeine and L-theanine, which combined provide you with long-lasting energy.
Matcha is also packed with powerful antioxidants, flavonoids, and vitamin C, supporting the immune system, healthy skin, brain, and liver. Recommendations for Doshas: It is a good breakfast for all doshas. Vata types tend to be very sensitive to caffeine, that’s why matcha is an adequate alternative. Still should use a smaller dosage and slowly increase it to see which is the perfect amount to feel energized but not overstimulated. Do you know what a dosha is? Find out your dosha here.

Perfect recipe to improve the classic chia pudding
Einfach und super lecker.
Auch zum mitnehmen geeignet. Da ich matcha Tee öfter trinke, wollte ich eine Alternative haben um matcha auch anderes in meinem Alltag zu integrieren.
