Matcha Rice Krispie Treats

Matcha powder has been around for nearly 1000 years and is still known today for its incredible health benefits. Powdered matcha contains antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that deliver health benefits unlike any other food, drink, or traditional green tea. It is known to lower cholesterol, reduce the effects of stress, promotes weight loss, naturally detoxifies your body and boosts energy, just to name a few.

Did you know, Samurai warriors consumed matcha before battle to gain mental alertness and clarity - how cool is that?!

Matcha Kari produces high quality matcha from the hillsides of Uji, Japan. Tea produced in the Uji region is prized for its bright colour and rich flavor and is often considered Japan’s best. The green tea plants are shaded, hand-picked, stone-ground and freshly sealed for maximum flavour.

To boost the nutrition and add matcha flavour to a classic rice krispie treat, I’ve used the beautiful and bright Matcha Kari First Harvest Matcha Powder. To learn more about this product, click the image below.
