Blueberry Matcha Smoothie

in #recipes • 9 years ago

Good Morning Y'all.  I started my day with this antioxidant packed smoothie that only has 190 calories.  For those of you who don't know matcha is just stone ground green tea leaves.  Matcha has many health benefits including being high in antioxidants like EGCG.  Plus it contains caffeine giving me just the boost I need before a morning workout.

Blueberry Matcha Smoothie

  • 1 small banana
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries 
  • 1 cup unsweet vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tsp matcha green tea powder

Put all ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth.  Enjoy!

    I get it at Central Market, but I'm sure Whole Foods or Trader Joes has it. It is on the same aisle as the regular tea.

    Matcha has literally replaced all of the bad stuff I used to drink before (redbull, rockstar, monster). Can't live without it now! I like jade monk brand for convenience but, this smoothie packs much more nutrition! Here is a list of Matcha health benefits:

    1. Antioxidant powerhouse, one of the highest!
    2. Gives you energy but also provides mental calmness due to the amino acid L-Theanine found in the matcha leaves.
    3. Helps increase memory and concentration.
    4. Increases your metabolism; burns fat.
    5. Natural detoxifier due to its chlorophyll content.
    6. Boosts your immune system, thanks to its catechins compounds (antioxidants) that have shown to contain antibiotic properties.
    7. My favorite: it enhances your sexual performance :)
      Enjoy!

    Of course, I think any berry would be good.
