You always read about the benefits of green tea and\/or matcha green tea. I enjoy both, but for a long time when I wanted to \u201ctreat\u201d myself I would get a Matcha Green Tea Latte from Starbucks. I do prefer matcha because you\u2019re consuming the green tea, as opposed to just steeping leaves in hot water.<\/p>\n
The thing is, as a chronic pain sufferer, I\u2019m not that physically active. I\u2019m also in my 40\u2019s. What I am getting at is, I need to watch my calories. Even with making all kinds of substitutions, the Starbucks Matcha Green Tea Latte was clocking in at 200 calories. AND, I had to go out and get it.<\/p>\n

Now I could make one at home and take it into work with me. I did that for a while, however, it meant I had to drink it as soon as I got to work, and it would be lukewarm. Then I learned about Four Sigmatic, and more specifically I heard that they had an instant Matcha Latte Mix that doesn\u2019t suck. I decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n
Life. Changing.<\/p>\n
Okay, that\u2019s a little extreme, but what I now have are convenient, individual serving packets of Four Sigmatic instant Matcha Latte Mix. It has matcha, obviously, but also Lion\u2019s Mane (which some believe provides mental health benefits) and Moringa (which Four Sigmatic calls \u201cnutrient dense\u201d). Thanks to the use of dried coconut milk powder and stevia, each serving is Vegan and only 30 calories.<\/p>\n

I have never noticed any perceivable health benefits from drinking it, but it tastes good, is convenient, and low calorie. I keep a box in my cubicle at work, and whenever I want a Matcha Latte, I just pour a packet in a coffee mug and then fill it with hot water from our office\u2019s Keurig machine. Stir it up and drink. It would absolutely be better if made with a frother or electric mixer to really work that mix into the water, but I don\u2019t mind doing a stir and sip.<\/p>\n
Why am I telling you all of this? Well, I have a subscription with Four Sigmatic and it is great. It gets you a discount and you can skip a shipment whenever you want. With all the chaos lately, I forgot to tell them to skip my latest shipment. Since it\u2019s warm out, I\u2019ve been drinking it less, so I thought I would giveaway one of the boxes from my order!<\/p>\n
It is giveaway time! As usual, I\u2019ll be using Rafflecopter to run it. Contest ends Sunday, June 7, 2020 at 11:59PM eastern. THIS GIVEAWAY IS ONLY OPEN TO RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
