Why you should watch out for added sugars in matcha powder

Matcha + Collagen promises a perk not found in regular matcha, and I can appreciate that given my hectic mom life. The taste is a bit earthy but not overpowering. It mixes well in smoothies, helping hide the flavor of those sneaky spinach leaves I like to add in. The texture is smooth rather than gritty, which is a win when trying to get my little ones to taste it. However, I find it slightly lacking in the vibrant matcha flavor I crave, and I wish it wasn’t priced quite so high. Still, the nutrition boost keeps me going through long days.

This organic matcha green tea stands out with its fresh, grassy flavor. It mixes flawlessly, giving a nice frothy texture that feels luxurious without any fuss. I love that it comes with zero sugar because I definitely don't want any extra sugar making my kids hyper! The taste can be a bit too strong for my picky eaters, though. I sometimes find hiding it in their smoothies isn’t fully successful; they can be quite the detectives. Overall, it’s refreshing and a solid choice for us health-conscious moms.

Mighty Matcha has a slightly sweetened taste, thanks to the 4g of sugar. This makes it perfect for my kids who usually resist anything green. I can mix it with milk, and they think they are having a treat! However, I still want to be careful about introducing too much sugar in their diets. The texture is decent, not overly gritty, which is essential for sipping, but I feel a bit guilty about the sugar content for myself. It’s a solid gateway matcha, but I have my reservations about daily use for an adult trying to kick bad habits.

Organic Matcha Peach isn’t exactly the matcha I think of when seeking to replace bad habits, but it’s a fun alternative because the fruity taste is delightful. It’s perfect for summer smoothies and feels like a treat, but I find that it competes with the traditional matcha vibe I enjoy. The texture is smooth and integrates well with yogurt. However, I sometimes wish it had a stronger matcha flavor to keep the balance. Overall, it can make for a refreshing change, but not a daily staple for me.

Organic Everyday Matcha fits perfectly into my routine and is truly what matcha should be. With 0g sugar, I can use this knowing it won’t sabotage my efforts to eat healthy. The taste has a mellow, earthy flavor that is great for my morning smoothie or even in baked goods when I want to sneak in greens. Surprisingly, it can hide those zucchini shreds quite well! The texture is delightful - no grittiness, which is essential for my picky kids. I feel good feeding this to my family, making it an easy win overall.
