Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. I'm concerned about the caffeine in the matcha smoothie. Is it okay to drink at night?
- Matcha contains caffeine, so consuming it at night may affect sleep. We recommend drinking matcha smoothies in the morning or until around 3 PM. For evenings, the banana & soy milk smoothie is recommended.
- Q2. How long does it take for stress-relief juices to show effects?
- For immediate effects, matcha (L-Theanine) and mint (refreshing sensation) tend to provide noticeable benefits soon after consumption. For magnesium, B vitamins, etc., effects usually appear with consistent intake (2-4 weeks).
- Q3. Can I use juice instead of coffee to wake myself up?
- The matcha smoothie, with its combination of caffeine + L-Theanine, provides a milder and more sustained alertness than coffee. It's also recommended for those who are sensitive to coffee's effect on the stomach.
