This vegan cheesecake is such an epic beauty treat filled with all the healing goods ingredients and wonderful health properties.
Matcha is a beauty adaptogen that everybody seems to be crazy about. To love matcha you really have to be a massive fan of Japanese culture or to love deep strong flavors if you drink a real matcha tea (no sugar or any plant-based milk).
I love matcha. Yes and that’s probably because I am a massive fan of Japan. Japan is without any doubt one of my happy places. But, back to the matcha topic, I have to say that I really love drinking matcha because of its health benefits.
Yes, matcha powder is considered an adaptogen, which really means, it’s among one of the adaptogenic herbs that have stress-fighting properties. And who of us can’t benefit by reducing our stress levels?!
I am always super stressed and have to work on it all the time so I bet, matcha is one great option. There are so many things around us that cause or escalate our levels of stress and explains why we sometimes gravitate towards sugary treats. We are always looking for ways to combat the negativity and live a more happy and fulfilled life right? Let’s not negate how we can do the same with the foods we eat.
Matcha is actually packed with exponentially more antioxidants according to the latest innovation in antioxidant research. Just check out the results below:
The testing method known as ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity), found that matcha possesses twenty times more antioxidants than pomegranates or blueberries. In fact, matchas ORAC rating is a 1573 units per gram, compared to pomegranates 105 units per gram or blueberries 93 units.
Here are some of matcha’s other stand out qualities:
- Matcha boosts metabolism and burns calories
- Help you concentrate and focus
- Safely cleanses and purges the body of harmful elements
- Is substantially richer in chlorophyll, making it a superior daily detox
So, I thought it will be great to create a raw vegan cheesecake with matcha flavors to help you either to deal with cravings or stress. What I love about matcha is that you can really mix many flavors together.
