Why I’m Obsessed with Matcha (+ My Favourite Vegan Collagen Blend)
If you’re even slightly matcha-curious, you’re in the right place. I’m completely obsessed. I drink it iced, I drink it warm — basically, if it’s green + got matcha in it, I’m there.
One of my favourite weekday breakfasts? Matcha overnight oats. Just stir ½ teaspoon of matcha powder into your usual overnight oat mix. You’ll end up with a vibrant, creamy bowl full of slow-release caffeine + antioxidant power — and yes, it tastes as good as it looks.
Why matcha deserves the hype
Matcha isn’t just another wellness trend. It’s a centuries-old Japanese tradition known for its grounding energy + rich nutrient profile. Unlike regular green tea, matcha is made from finely ground whole tea leaves — so you’re consuming the entire leaf, not just an infusion.
Here’s what makes matcha special:
Sustained calm energy: Caffeine + L-theanine combine to give you focus without the coffee crash.
Antioxidant power: Especially EGCG, which supports metabolism, reduces inflammation + protects cells from oxidative stress.
Radiant skin support: Regular matcha drinkers often notice brighter, clearer complexions thanks to its detoxifying effects.
Whether you sip it, bake with it or blend it into your oats, matcha brings balance + clarity to your day.
Matcha in every form, please
I’m not the only one obsessed. Mario from Batched Bakehouse makes the dreamiest strawberry + matcha buns — soft, fluffy, just sweet enough + perfectly balanced with that earthy matcha note.
And then there’s Cosmic Dealer’s Cashew + Matcha Chocolate Square — think silky cashew butter, rich dark chocolate + high-quality matcha, all in one bite. Heaven.
So when Reformed reached out asking if I’d like to try their Vegan Collagen Matcha, the answer was immediate: yes please.
