Matcha is loved by many for good reason. It’s clean energy without the crash, loaded with antioxidants, and undeniably chicer than drip coffee. But here’s the tea (pun intended): on its own, it’s more of a side character than a full plotline.
If you want your latte to really do something—keep you full, power your brain, stabilize blood sugar, support digestion, maybe even glow up your skin, you need to invite protein and fiber to the party. Together, they turn your matcha into a legit power meal.
