Good morning! Today, we’re diving into the unique benefit of adding this to your matcha for even more antioxidants.
Let’s dive in. But first, are you a coffee or tea drinker (or both)? I’m a coffee fan, but sometimes opt for an iced tea in the summer! Let me know by replying to this email! –Molly Knudsen, M.S., RDN, editor p.s. Don’t forget to forward this to a friend who might enjoy it too! |

Add this to your matcha for even more benefitsGreen tea already has a strong antioxidant reputation. But pairing it with the right foods may amplify its benefits. A new study shows that adding strawberries to the mixture may increase antioxidant potential.¹
- Shifted acidity: Strawberry made the brew more acidic, helping stabilize heat-sensitive compounds
- Higher catechins: The blend showed more catechin recovery—especially in hot water (158°F + 212°F)
- Peak antioxidant effect: Strongest activity showed up in the 212°F strawberry–matcha combo
- Temperature matters: Anti-inflammatory activity peaked at ~158°F, not boiling
- Cold brew benefit: Better retention of vitamin C and anthocyanins in cold steeping
Researchers also hypothesized that the vitamin C and organic acids in strawberries may help preserve and “unlock” these compounds.
Here are 4 ways to reap the benefits of this delicious combo.

This is the No. 1 digestive health probioticˆ |
|
 |
Are you among the many folks unsatisfied with their gut health? We have a recommendation: Seed DS-01® Daily Synbiotic is a 24-strain probiotic and prebiotic clinically shown to improve regularity, alleviate gas, and reduce bloating.° It’s been clinically validated in the largest clinical trial for a probiotic on bloating and gas in healthy adults.°µ
That has made it the No. 1 digestive health probioticˆ and has earned the trust of over 2 million customers—including several mindbodygreen editors.
We surveyed our staffers who take DS-01® and here’s what they have to say:
- “Freer from bloat in just 1 week.”°
- “My bowel movements became more on schedule than they had been.”°
- “DS-01® combines so many strains of probiotics to provide comprehensive gut support.”°
- “I felt and saw additional benefits outside of just bloating, digestion, and regularity, too!”°
- “The formulation, ingredients, testing standards, are why I choose DS-01® as my daily option.”°
- “My overall digestion became more efficient and productive.”°
We could go on, but then this would be a very long email. Suffice to say: We think DS-01® is worth the hype and deserves a spot in your supplement lineup. |

We’re in peak spinach season! So if you have a bag (or a bunch) of spinach sitting in your fridge right now, get ready to use it up. Spinach is nutrient-dense, delivering vitamin K, folate, magnesium, and protective plant compounds like lutein. And it’s so easy to add to a variety of recipes.
