Raw Matcha Green Tea & Mint Cheesecake

April 27, 2015 By Tiana Haines 14 Comments

    I have been using this delicious matcha green tea powder a lot in my smoothies and tea. I thought it would be a great idea to incorporate it in a dessert and what better way then a RAW cheesecake! This cheesecake has a refreshing taste of green tea and mint with a hint of chocolate! If you are a green tea lover then you must give this recipe a try!

    Matcha green tea powder// One of the major health benefits of matcha green tea powder is that it contains high amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemical compounds that help to prevent anti-aging and chronic disease. Matcha is also rich in insoluble fibers, antioxidants and L-Theanines, protein, calcium, iron and vitamin C! If you are not sure where to buy matcha powder, I have been ordering mine online from kenkotea.com.au. I use Kenko tea mainly because they are a Melbourne based company with great product reviews and their product is 100% USDA Certified Organic, heavy Metal, Pesticide and Radiation Free, raw, 100% Natural, non GMO, vegan Friendly and gluten Free.
