Further Food Matcha Collagen Peptides Powder, 100% Grass-Fed

I’ve tried a lot of matcha based drinks and so far this is my favorite. It’s not a latte so if you want that you have to add your own favorite milk. But it gets a nice foam on top when mixed with a frother. It mixes easily and quickly. I also think it tastes the best. It’s not sweet because it has no sweetener added but there’s no offensive flavor. I feel it give me a little energy and it’s not the uptight energy of coffee. It only has collagen, organic matcha and organic cordyceps powder. It has a lot of amino acids and 18 grams of protein! So I feel like it’s a super healthy drink. If I want a sweet treat, I add milk and raw honey or maple syrup. I love it and I’ll keep drinking it every day! I have it on subscribe and save.

First opening the container it smelled like grass , similar to my sons pet bunny rabbits food Haha Other than that the taste is good no funky odor once it’s mixed in the milk & water ( I did half water half milk 2 cups total) There is no thickness either so it’s literally just like regular matcha without sweetness. It took a while to stir the powder because I was using a straw but I was able to get all the clumps out of powder out. It’s actually really tasty!! I’m a mom and model so this was just what I needed to feel healthy, energized and focused ! No more drinking coffee for me !! 💕

4 stars due to the taste not being anything to rave about, but the product is honestly great overall with the ingredients. It’s just not a sweet matcha powder like you’d get at a cafe, it’s a real organic matcha powder so it’s going to be earthy. But it’s actually going to benefit you more as authentic matcha tho, which is a good thing. The key is using it in a smoothie, plain is blah. It is worth noting that a lot of products that aid in digestion and that are designed to reduce bloating can cause temporary bloating at first if your gut isn’t used to it. Doesn’t mean it won’t help, give it time for your gut to adjust and recalibrate. By week two my belly flattened way out. But week one I felt extra fluffy lol. For my smoothie, I do: 1 cup of frozen unsweetened strawberries 1 Tbsp chia/flax seed mix soaked in 1 cup water (soak overnight) 1tsp marshmallow root powder 1 scoop of the matcha collagen for protein 10ish drops of liquid stevia or whatever you like to sweeten with.

Funky flavor like a protein shake mixed with matcha but the results are incredible. my body is starting to crave whatever is in it and what it can do for you. Joints and Muscles feel better.

After trying the Matcha Latte at Starbucks, I became hooked! I noticed I started to have a craving for it over coffee, and I found myself going more often. I decided to opt for purchasing matcha powder on my own. When I found this product, I was so excited to try since I'd never taken collagen orally before. At the time, my nails were so brittle suffering from frequent nail salon visits. I have noticed such a huge difference in my nails, they grow very quickly now and they're so strong! (It's only been 1-2 months) Also my face. My skin now has this dewy/glow appearance to it and I don't know if it's gotten firmer or not but it is definitely clear and nice. Matcha has made me completely quit coffee because of the focused energy it gives me, rather than the jumpy/jittery energy coffee gave me. I will continue to use this product. I love it!

The powder itself is ok. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste that is to be expected with the added supplements. It's also very difficult to mix (I tried a few different methods.) My main issue is with the packaging. The canister comes only half-full, using twice the plastic necessary and bordering on false advertising. It looks like the headspace is just for a scoop which is also unnecessary plastic. I'd rather it came in paper or glass and without the plastic scoop I'll never use.

I have used 3 big bags of Further Food’s original collagen powder so I figured I would try their matcha. One thing about the original collagen powder is that you can taste the collagen when mixed in water (I often mix mine in coffee), however, with the matcha version, you do not. A definite plus as I mixed mine once in water and once in milk. It’s much creamier in milk. This mixes pretty well with hot water. I wasn’t surprised since their original collagen powder does as well. I will say though, that putting the powder first then the water will aid with dissolving the powder rather than water then powder. This was more of an afternoon pick me up drink for me since i can’t drink coffee past 12. I was pretty excited when Further Foods finally came out with their own matcha collagen mix.

I did not like the taste of the matcha mushrooms. I will not order this one again. I have ordered lemon flavored, hope it tastes better!! The reason I am ordering again is because my nails are getting stronger. For the amount of money we pay, think we should get a larger package.
