Green Tea Benefits and Breast Cancer
Matcha is a powered version of green tea leaves. Made from high quality green tea, matcha powder offers health benefits due to high continence of a powerful antioxidant – polyphenol – called EGCG.
Matcha tea is one of the ways to utilize this unique gift from nature in our daily food intake. However, you gotta know that you can use matcha not just in beverage! Incorporate this powerful polyphenol into your everyday cooking and baking.
Muffins, puddings, smoothies, soups, stir fries, side dishes and bakes, frozen desserts like this matcha ginger ice cream, and even matcha guacamole – you can incorporate matcha into any and all of these recipes.
Make sure you are buying Organic, pure quality matcha. Remember that a little goes a long way! You don’t need a millions teaspoons of matcha in your smoothie or muffin recipe!

EGCG has been specifically found to slow or halt the growth of cancer cells.

Matcha Ginger Ice Cream Dessert Advantage
The key ingredients to celebrate in this dessert is matcha powder. With ginger, coming next as a flavorful ingredient, you will enjoy a zesty flavor that mixes well with yogurt or almond milk. Ginger is great to have in our food as it is good for reducing inflammation.
Why I love this matcha ginger ice cream is for its quick and easy making. No cooking is required. Just mix all ingredients in a mixer or food processor to begin the process.
Some of you who does have an ice cream maker, use it! But it is not necessary to make enough of a scrumptious ice cream dessert for family and friends. Freezer section of the fridge will do its job!
This cancer-preventive dessert is loaded with protective antioxidants. You can find matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, in most natural foods stores or specialty market.
I used yogurt, but you can substitute coconut milk for a vegan version. Using unrefined cane sugar as the sweetener improves the texture, but honey works just fine.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain or vanilla low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 cup Manuka honey (you can substitute for unrefined cane sugar)
- 3 Tbsp finely grated fresh ginger root
- 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder
Instructions
- Combine yogurt, honey or sugar, ginger and matcha in a blender; puree until very smooth and creamy.
- Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker, and process according to manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately for soft serve, or freeze until firm, 1 to 2 hours, before serving.
You Can Make This Matcha Ginger Ice Cream a VEGAN Version!
This matcha ginger ice cream can easily become a vegan dessert, too! Just substitute yogurt for almond milk. Voila, you’ve got yourself a colorful, delicious, bursting with benefits and easy making features recipe.
