Matcha Coconut Bounty Bars
Matcha and Coconut Together, Life Couldn't Get Better!
Have you noticed how just a small amount of matcha powder can give your favourite smoothies, shakes and bakes such a bright green colour?
This is thanks to the exceptionally high levels of chlorophyll, which have been shown to protect the immune system and promote healthy glowing skin.
What is Matcha?
Matcha is a natural energy boost just like coffee, but without the jitters! Matcha contains L-Theanine which promotes focus and relaxation, making your day a lot better! It is also a natural metabolism booster which helps to convert what you eat and drink into energy.
Our Vivo Life Matcha is certified organic A grade, meaning that our matcha powder is made from the highest quality A Grade matcha tea leaves. This gives it a much smoother flavour and more concentrated nutrients than regular matcha powder.
