If you need to up your fruit intake or are looking to really max out on the benefits of green tea, this matcha fruit smoothie a solid, fun addition to your arsenal. With simple ingredients that you may very well keep in your house anyway, this quick blend is an easy grab-and-go option any day of the week.
Matcha is super buzzy right now, especially for those looking for clearer skin or a less aggressive morning caffeine kick. It’s essentially green tea that you ingest directly versus steeping, and it’s amazing.
If you’re like me and have remote work options, a smoothie in the morning is a fun change up from the normal cup of coffee or tea when your commute is in your slippers from your bed to your desk.
Matcha Fruit Smoothie Ingredients
Simply blend all of these ingredients together in the blender of your choice (I adore my Ninja, it has a single serve option for smoothies just like this) and enjoy.
- 1 tsp of matcha
- 6 oz of water
- 6 oz of milk (I prefer light soy)
- 1 banana
- 3-4 strawberries
- 10 large ice cubes
- 1 packets/1 tsp of Splenda (optional, to taste)
Please note, the end product may not be your typical Insta-worthy smoothie. Reason being is largely because you’re mixing a strong, green matcha with rich, red strawberries. Mixing green and red definitely overtakes the smoothie visually, but just know it doesn’t effect the delicious taste of the end product.
