Matcha Bubble Tea and Six Snacks to Complement It

Matcha tea is already famous for its nutritional values and earthy, unique taste. As important as the drink, the food people get near it also matters. The food pairings with matcha bubble tea can ensure that the beverage does not lose its health effects and enhance its taste. Sure, the decision depends on when people prefer to drink this tea. The sidings for a morning drink and an afternoon tea vary. Plus, the purposes of the drinkers determine what to eat with matcha tea. If they want to lose weight, it is better to couple the drink with fruits. On the contrary, for enjoying the experience and satisfying the gut, they can opt for sweets. No matter what they pair this bubble tea with, it tastes fantastic in every sip.

Another excellent dessert option for matcha boba tea is the Belgian waffle. People like to eat Belgian waffles in the morning or during the day to satisfy their sweet tooth. The waffle is as famous as the matcha boba tea in the U.S though it originated in Belgium. Therefore, it is easy to find the best waffles in Los Angeles to eat this delicious dessert. Combined with chocolate, or fruits like banana and strawberry, Belgian waffles can create a breakfast feast. In Bontea Cafe, people can purchase classic waffles or add extra toppings to their orders. Drinking this bubble tea with this dessert will ensure that you are full for an extended period. 

Wagashi

Considering the history and the culture matcha tea originated, it is noticeable that people prefer green tea with Wagashi. Wagashi is a type of small confection that Japanese people serve with the tea. Mochi also belongs to this category. Usually, Wagashi includes fruit, bean paste, and rice dough. However, it can vary depending on the type. People believe that pairing the matcha bubble tea with Wagashi helps them enjoy sweets while still feeling the exact taste of the green tea. 

Breakfast Bowls

People who want to lose weight usually prefer drinking matcha tea. The reason behind this choice is that the drink has a fat-burning effect, improving digestion. These people do not prefer drinking their reduced sugar matcha bubble tea with desserts. In this case, they can enjoy the beverage with breakfast bowls. Sure, there is no exact recipe for the breakfast bowl. It can include veggies, fruits, granola with milk, nuts, etc. As the aim is to eat well in the morning and less in the dinner, coupling the breakfast bowl with matcha bubble tea creates more nutritional value. Hence, people can stay full for a longer time. 

Avocado Toast

Speaking of healthy meal options, one of the best choices is avocado toast with matcha bubble tea. Avocado is a rich source of protein, and it has essential amino acids. If drinkers couple their boba tea with avocado toast or salad, it will create a super healthy food combination. They also need to get their drink with minimum sugar levels to keep it as nutritious as possible. 

Pineapple

During the summer, most matcha lovers do not like to eat dessert. Sometimes, we do not even want to consume any meal with our drinks. In this case, the best way is to pair a matcha bubble tea with fruit. It will boost the health effects of the beverage. Also, if you feel hungry, fruits will help you feel full without overeating. Sure, any citrus fruit works great with matcha milk tea boba. However, pineapple has an entirely different taste with this drink. If you have not tried it yet, you should pair your matcha drink with pineapple. Such food pairing with the beverage keeps drinkers refreshed and energized. 

What is the Nutritional Value of the Matcha Tea?

As matcha is green tea, it is also full of antioxidants. Its EGCG element helps cells to fight cancer, heart disease, or type 2 diabetes. People who want to lose value can also enjoy low-sugar matcha bubble tea. The drink stimulates metabolism and burns fat. Combined with regular exercise, matcha milk tea is the best friend of drinkers with weight-losing intentions. 

Besides, the drink can boost brain functions. It aids concentration and improves the time to react and memorize. Hence, it is advisable to drink this beverage in the morning to stay energized and attentive for the daily tasks.

However, the health benefits of matcha tea can deteriorate fast if people do not consume it properly. Sure, they can enjoy a high-sugar version of the matcha milk tea boba for drinking something tasty. Yet, the drink is not much healthy when there exist many additions like sugar in the beverage. Also, consuming matcha tea with dessert will not help drinkers to lose weight.

In this post, we advised several food pairings to make the drink much tastier or keep its nutritional value. The final decision depends on what the drinkers want. If the purpose is to have fun time activity with friends and satisfying the sweet tooth, they can combine the drink with waffles. However, those who pursue a healthy life are better if they consume tea with fruits or healthy breakfast bowls. 

How Do We Make Matcha Boba Tea?

The matcha bubble tea of Bontea Cafe is famous for its rich taste. We use only organic ingredients in our offerings and use the best matcha whisk types to craft our drinks. The drink has three main layers. At the bottom, there are tapioca pearls in brown sugar syrup. Matcha milk tea boba adds extra sweetness and excitement to the drink as they are chewy. On top of this layer, we add milk to the preference of the customers. In our cafe, you can find different types of milk, including almonds, oatmeal, cashew, etc. Also, we prefer to add ice in this stage to make it a refreshing drink for the summer heat. Alternatively, the beverage can be served hot.
