The Matcha Green Energy Smoothie was born out of a desire to create a healthy and delicious smoothie that would give us a boost of energy without the jitters. We started with a base of unsweetened almond milk and frozen banana, then added matcha powder for its antioxidant and energy-boosting properties. Nut butter and honey provide protein and sweetness, while vanilla extract and ground cinnamon add a touch of flavor. A pinch of sea salt balances out the sweetness and enhances the other flavors. The result is a smoothie that is both delicious and nutritious, and that will help you power through your day.
