Veggie Zinger Juice with Matcha Green Tea

by 139 Comments

In collaboration with Pure Chimp #Supertea: 100% natural goodness.

Veggie Zinger with Matcha Green Tea

We all know how good raw vegetables are for our health. Sometimes, though, it can be difficult to get all the goodness of these raw vegetables into our bodies without eating piles and piles of salad.

This is where a masticating slow juicer comes into its own.

I use the Froothie Optimum 600 slow juicer for my vegetable juices, and with this gorgeous green juice I’ve revved it up a notch by whisking in a teaspoonful of ceremonial grade green tea powder from Pure Chimp – creating a proper veggie zinger breakfast juice!

Pure Chimp, based in Cambridgeshire, have been selling ceremonial grade matcha green tea powder now since 2013. They’ve now expanded their range to include a wide variety of 100% natural skin, hair and health care products too.

Fresh vegetables for juicing

The best way to a healthy looking outside is to start with what you put on the inside, so in this veggie zinger vegetable juice we’ve got:

  • an apple – high in antioxidant polyphenols
  • grapes – rich sources of vitamins A, C, B6 and folate as well as loads of minerals
  • kohlrabi – high in vitamin C, B6 and potassium
  • celery – a great source of vitamin K and molybdenum
  • cucumber – rich in many B vitamins
  • broccoli – contains vitamin C and a whole host of antioxidant phytonutrients
  • spinach – provides protein, iron, vitamins and minerals
  • green tea powder – very high in antioxidants

Pure Chimp Matcha Green Tea

The Pure Chimp website says that their matcha green tea contains 137 times the antioxidants of regular green tea, equivalent to 10 cups of green tea in one serving. A natural source of caffeine (35 mg per serving) it can help increase energy levels without the anxiety, and may also help with weight loss!

Veggie Zinger Juice with Matcha Green Tea

Irregardless of any potential health benefits, this juice tastes fantastic. Vegetable juices can often taste a bit… like liquefied grass… (trust me, I’ve made a few of these!) but the addition of an apple and a handful of grapes adds a pleasant sweetness to the drink, while the matcha green tea powder energizes from within. A great start to a morning!

Pure Chimp Matcha Green Tea retails at £8.95 for a 30 gram pouch, or £14.95 for a 50 gram jar, although it’s currently (at the time of writing) on sale. 5% of their profits are donated to charity.

Pure Chimp have kindly offered my readers the chance to win one of five 50 gram jars of their Matcha green tea powder, so scroll down to the bottom of this post for the Rafflecopter entry form!

  4. I have been juicing for a long time and this recipe looks wonderful. I recently quite drinking coffee and I love the addition of the matcha green tea powder. I’m going to give this a try and see if it will help with giving me the energy that I got from coffee.

  7. Hi, we can also add some citric juice (lemon or orange) too.

    The vitamin C contained in orange or lemon juice will help to increase the staying power of the antioxidant contained in Matcha. This allow us to absorb more benefit from every cup of matcha!

    I like your recipe. I think I will try it with the culinary matcha from Zendori next time. I heard culinary matcha is better when mixing with other ingredients compared to ceremonial matcha.

  23. Have you tried Matcha Green Tea before? How do you have yours?

    I have only had samples of a matcha here and there. We buy one from Hong Kong but I am not sure if it is the real deal as it taste very very sweet! Would be interested to try this!
    I usually have mine with hot water, dollop of honey and drink in the morning. I have also tried putting a teaspoon in with my yoghurt in the morning too!

  33. I’ve never tried any kind of green tea before, but I’ve never been a tea drinker at all – recently I have discovered a love for it, but I’m really wanting to experiment with the healthier types so this would be ideal!

  37. Not tried it. My wife loves various herbal teas but I know neither of us have tried this one. Personally, I’ve not managed to get beyond a fruit flavoured tea on occasion but am entering to taste if I win or win some brownie points with the wife! Never a bad thing right? 🙂

  44. I’ve never heard of it before, but my family always tease me that if I can choose something overly healthy, I will try it – and try and get them to try it too!

  47. I lived in Japan for 2 years, so I’ve had lots of matcha tea and matcha flavored items. I’ve never tried juice with it, but I think I need to give it a try.
