If you haven’t guessed, we are pretty big fans of matcha so we are always coming up with new ways to consume it (and this is one of our favourites yet!). This matcha coconut fudge has a nice creamy texture from the coconut manna but gives you a night energy boost. Matcha has an amino acid called L-theanine which can help improve mental focus and clarity in a slow-released way. Matcha is also extremely high in anti-oxidants which can slow cell degeneration and impede the aging process, promoting smoother and tighter skin. Because it’s sweetened with maple syrup then there is no refined sugar added, and you could even substitute with stevia. Enjoy as an afternoon treat, or even for breakfast they are so good!
