SALTED MAPLE MATCHA
Ingredients:
1 tsp maple syrup
1-2 generous pinches of Celtic salt

1 tbsp collagen
40ml filtered water boiled to 80 degrees
Instructions:
Step 1
Add maple syrup, Celtic salt & milk of choice to a glass. Use a milk frother to froth the milk, then add ice.

n a matcha bowl, add the collagen, matcha & filtered boiled water. Use a matcha whisk to mix in a zigzag motion for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until there is a nice microfoam layer.
Step 3
Pour the matcha over the top & stir to combine.
Ingredient Benefits:
(with a focus on gut health & the nervous system)
Matcha
Matcha is rich in L theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm, focused energy by supporting relaxation without drowsiness, which benefits the nervous system. It is also high in catechins, particularly EGCG, powerful antioxidants that support immune function & help calm inflammation. These polyphenols also nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a balanced microbiome.
Celtic Salt
Celtic salt is unrefined & contains trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium & calcium alongside sodium. These electrolytes support hydration & healthy nerve signalling, which is important for the nervous system. Chloride from salt is also needed to produce stomach acid, supporting digestion & the breakdown of nutrients.
Tramella
Tremella is a nourishing mushroom rich in polysaccharides, which act as a prebiotic fuel for beneficial gut bacteria. These compounds also help modulate the immune system & provide antioxidant support. Traditionally valued for its hydrating & soothing qualities, it makes a gentle addition to any gut supportive ritual.
Collagen
Collagen supplies glycine & proline, amino acids that help support the integrity of the gut lining & nourish the digestive tract. Glycine also has a calming influence on the nervous system & may support more restful sleep. Together, these make collagen a gentle, grounding addition to any gut supportive ritual.
