🥄 Why It’s Good for Your Liver:
- Matcha: Rich in catechins (EGCG), powerful antioxidants that support liver detox and reduce fat accumulation.
- Chia Seeds: High in fiber and omega-3s, which help reduce inflammation and stabilize blood sugar.
- Plant Milk: Dairy-free and easier on digestion.
- No Added Sugar: Naturally sweetened for blood sugar balance.
📋 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

- Natural sweetener (optional: stevia, monk fruit, or a small date*)

🍓 Toppings (optional but healthy):
