Does Matcha Break Intermittent Fasting?

The simple answer to this question is no, pure high grade matcha such as Matcha Fuel does not break a fast -- providing you don't add any sweeteners/sugars, honey or milk. In fact, matcha actually has profound ketogenic qualities!

This is because the unique antioxidants found in matcha increase fat oxidation, and activate fat-burning pathways in the body. Virtually free of calories, matcha has an abundance of fasting-friendly natural compounds.

Another great benefit of fasting with matcha green tea is that it can suppress your appetite, which can help you fast for longer periods of time without the hunger pains.

If you're looking to try intermittent fasting or you already do fast, matcha is a great alternative to your usual coffee, as the synergistic effect of both the caffeine and amino acids (L-theanine) will create a time-released energy boost throughout the day.

Research recommends a premium grade of matcha, such as Matcha Fuel for maximum benefits that include:

• Healthy weight management
• Ketogenesis
• Powerful antioxidants
• All day energy and focus
