Matcha Vegan Weight Loss Support Detox Easy

Mounjaro is a relatively new type of medication prescribed for type 2-diabetes treatment to help lower blood sugar levels. But did you know that you might be able to make a natural alternative drink at home? 

It’s said that the natural mounjaro might help with weight loss and maintain the lost weight, just like the medical Mounjaro drug. Let’s delve into the Japanese version of mounjaro and the Japanese mounjaro recipe in this article.

Actually, I hadn’t heard about the idea of a natural complementary drink to mounjaro myself. However, once I started researching the drink, I discovered that it’s a trend overseas. There seem to be several natural mounjaro drinks, including a “regular” version made with lemon, ginger, honey, and apple cider vinegar.

Then, how about the Japanese version? Japanese Mounjaro drink is made with matcha, umeboshi (pickled plum), ginger, and kombu seaweed. With these core ingredients, you can add other ingredients such as honey and lemon or yuzu juice to your preference.

Now, you might wonder why these ingredients are chosen for weight loss. Here are the nutrients and health benefits of each main ingredient for Japanese Mounjaro:

  • Matcha: Matcha is rich in antioxidants, especially catechins, and contains vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and magnesium. It also provides L-theanine, which can help with relaxation and focus. Matcha can boost metabolism, help with weight management, improve mental alertness thanks to L-theanine and caffeine, and support heart health while lowering cholesterol.
  • Ginger: Ginger is rich in gingerol, the bioactive compound responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It can also aid digestion and help alleviate nausea.
  • Umeboshi: Umeboshi is great for digestion and has a detoxifying effect. It’s rich in organic acids, like citric acid, which can help with digestion and reduce fatigue.
  • Kombu: Kombu contains iodine to support thyroid function, fiber, vitamins like vitamin K, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It also promotes gut health.

This drink may help support metabolism and fat burning. These main ingredients are generally not listed as allergens in Japan, so side effects are unlikely. However, if you have specific allergies or need to monitor your salt intake, adjust the quantities accordingly.

In researching Japanese mounjaro, I found that this drink is quite similar to a traditional Japanese drink called “umekobucha,” which can be enjoyed as a comforting drink or used to enhance dishes like pasta and vegetable pickles.

Additionally, health-conscious Japanese people often enjoy “umekombu,” a traditional snack made with dried kombu seasoned with Ume flavor. Incorporating natural Japanese drinks and foods like these into your routine is a great way to support overall wellness.

Overall, Japanese mounjaro is not a magical drink that alone will lead to weight loss. Keep your plate colorful, stay active, and give this recipe a try for a tasty boost!

Expert's Tip

How to Make Japanese Mounjaro (Weight Loss Drink Recipe)

This all-in-one J Taste Authentic Matcha Starter Kit includes high-quality ceremonial Matcha, a bamboo whisk (chasen), ladle (chashaku), and bowl (chawan), so you can effortlessly make smooth, frothy, and perfectly balanced Matcha at home.

Instructions

1) Gather the Ingredients

I’m using umeboshi pickled with red perilla (shiso), which adds a refreshing note to the drink.

Divide 220ml of water into 120ml (for steeping the kombu seaweed) and 100ml (for whisking the matcha).

For the ginger, I’m keeping the peel in this recipe, as it contains valuable nutrients.

2) Prepare the Ingredients

Grate the ginger with the peel. Remove the seed from the umeboshi and chop it into a paste.

3) Prepare the Kombu Seaweed

Place the dried kombu seaweed in a cup. Heat 120ml of water to approximately 80℃ and pour it over the kombu. Let it steep for about 5 minutes, then remove the kombu.

4) Mix Ginger and Umeboshi

Add the grated ginger and umeboshi paste to the cup with kombu water. Mix well.

5) Prepare the Matcha

Warm up the chasen (bamboo whisk) and sift 2/3 tsp of ceremonial-grade matcha powder. Heat 100ml of water to 80℃ and pour over the matcha powder. Whisk in a zig-zag motion until fine bubbles form on the surface, creating a frothy texture.

6) Combine Everything

Pour the whisked matcha into the cup with the kombu, ginger, and umeboshi mixture. Stir well and enjoy!

Optionally, add a slice of lemon, yuzu juice, or a drizzle of honey to taste. You may also serve in a chawan matcha bowl for an authentic Japanese experience.
