MATCHA GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE OR ICED LATTE
If you've read a newspaper or watched the news recently you've probably heard about all the health benefits of drinking Green Tea. It has tons of antioxidents and helps boost metabolism and helps you burn more fat and thus lose more weight. I enjoy drinking green tea and occasionally I enjoy a Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino, or a Jamba Juice Matcha Smoothie Blast. This recipe is one I developed to be able to enjoy these smoothies at home. I think it tastes great and is really good for your health too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please note that this recipe does require premium matcha green tea powder. This is not just regular green tea leaves pulverized. This premium powder can be purchased at Japanese grocers, or online. I happen to purchase mine on that popular online auction site I'm sure you're familiar with. I use the "Usucha" (or thin) matcha green tea powder that comes straight from Kyoto, Japan. Feel free to contact me if you need help finding this tea and I can show you where to purchase it directly. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Tips:
- Use high-quality matcha powder: The quality of your matcha powder will greatly affect the flavor of your smoothie. Look for a matcha powder that is bright green in color and has a fine texture.
- Sweeten your smoothie to taste: Matcha powder can be quite bitter, so you may want to add a sweetener to your smoothie. Honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar are all good options.
- Add some healthy fats: Healthy fats can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after drinking your smoothie. Good sources of healthy fats include avocado, nuts, and seeds.
- Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit will help to make your smoothie thick and creamy. You can use any type of fruit you like, but berries, bananas, and mangoes are all popular choices.
- Add some protein powder: Protein powder can help to boost the protein content of your smoothie and make it more filling. Whey protein, pea protein, and hemp protein are all good options.
Conclusion:
Matcha smoothies are a delicious and healthy way to start your day or refuel after a workout. They are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and they can help to boost your energy levels and improve your overall health. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a matcha smoothie recipe that everyone will enjoy.
