Juice Review: Geisha
Juice Review: Geisha
Ah Geisha. It is one of our most popular beverages on the menu. And it’s no wonder! This is a delicious, creamy concoction boasting multiple health benefits! It is apart of our nut mylk range, made with our delicious almond milk, sweetened naturally with medjool dates and vanilla beans. And has the added benefit of Matcha green tea powder in it. Making it our healthy version of the green tea latte. And we have added chia seeds. So it’s a quasi-green tea latte-come bubble tea. Yum yum yum!
Matcha Green Tea is the highest quality powdered green tea available. We use the British teapigs brand which is the best in the market. Of course! This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful superfoods on the market today. Matcha is high in antioxidants, cancer-fighting AND fat burning. Plus it is known to boost your memory and fortify the immune system.
The addition of chia seeds increases the protein in this beverage whilst also creating that bubble tea-like effect. I have spoken about chia seeds alot and there is ALOT to speak about. Here is a general overview of the superfood:
- High in fibre
28g is about one-third of your recommended daily fibre intake. Adding chia is an easy way to make sure you are getting a good amount of fibre in your diet, which is very important for your digestive health. - Omega 3
These good fats are important for brain health as well as amazing for your skin and hair! Your skin will look more and feel more hydrated and your hair will be shiny! - Calcium & phosphorus
Great for maintaining bone and oral health as well as preventing osteoporosis – important for the ladies! - Fights the belly fat
Chia has a stabling effect on blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels and insulin resistance = belly fat.
And finally, let’s talk almond mylk. All of our nut milk, coffees and protein shakes are made with homemade almond milk. We soak our almonds overnight with fresh vanilla, medjool dates and a pinch of salt. A great alternative to dairy (for those who have an intolerance) and another great source of protein in your diet.
