I’m obsessed with using ONO Matcha tea in my cooking! Not only because it totally brings out the flavor of the dish, but also because it’s so healthy! Matcha uses the entire tea leaf so it is full of nutrients and antioxidants. According to research done by Tufts University, the ORAC capacity of matcha green tea is exponentially higher than other foods known for their high antioxidants levels such as blueberries and spinach.

Here is my recipe for some ONO-licious Banana Chocolate Chip cookies!  Enjoy!
