These cookie sandwiches are a bit of an eclectic mix of many good things. Think Oreo meets matcha latte with a healthy dose of peanut butter. Fluffy cashew cream spiked with green tea powder and some crushed pistachios sandwiched between two chewy chocolate peanut butter cookies. Oh yeah and they’re gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free for those who are that way inclined.

If you wanted an excuse to enjoy these matcha-filled cookie sandwiches - here a just a few!

Green tea has potent anti-viral and anti-microbial effects, both internally and externally.  A number of recent studies have shown its effects in reducing facial acne, treating Athlete's foot, reducing the length of infections and preventing infections in the first place. The most exciting part about this research is that while green tea appears to have strong affects against pathogenic organisms, it leaves our own beneficial microbes unharmed and actually serves as a prebiotic (fuel for beneficial probiotics in the gut). This means green tea works as a targeted therapy for a whole range of fungal and viral infections with minimal side effects.
