Both coffee and matcha (a powdered form of green tea) contain caffeine.
In fact, matcha may contain more caffeine per gram than coffee – but the
caffeine in a prepared serving can vary significantly. A cup of either
coffee or matcha may contain anywhere from 75 to 179 mg of caffeine.1 2 Research has also shown that the caffeine in matcha is absorbed more slowly, providing a milder, more consistent energy boost.3
Both beverages contain negligible calories when prepared without cream,
sugar, or other additives. Matcha and coffee also both contain high
levels of antioxidants, which can help to lower your risk of certain
cancers.
Ultimately, both beverages can be beneficial when consumed in moderation.
Starting your day with the right nutrition – meaning a balanced meal or
snack, and not just caffeine – can make all the difference when it comes
to energy levels. Talking to a registered dietitian is a great way to
start making healthy, sustainable changes to your diet. Book an
