# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready to grab from the fridge without any morning effort, which means you actually eat breakfast instead of skipping it.
  • The matcha gives you sustained energy and focus without the jitters of coffee.
  • It tastes like a treat but is genuinely nourishing, packed with protein and antioxidants.
02 -
  • Don't use hot liquid when whisking the matcha; the heat can make it clumpy and bitter instead of silky and smooth.
  • Matcha powder can settle at the bottom of the jar if you let it sit too long, so give it a quick stir before eating, or whisk everything more vigorously at the start.
03 -
  • Whisk the matcha with a little of the cold milk first to create a smooth paste before adding the rest of the liquid; this prevents clumps better than anything.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of nonfat for richness that rivals any matcha latte, and the difference is noticeable in every spoonful.
