Matcha and turmeric are two true superfoods thanks to their high phytonutrient content. Matcha contains catechins, which have been shown to support heart, brain, and overall health. Turmeric contains inflammation-fighting, lifestyle disease-preventing, and cognition-supporting curcuminoids. Pro-tip: Double the recipe and add it to a variety of dishes throughout the week like salads, grain bowls, steamed vegetables, or grilled tofu.
