The Energizing Matcha Avocado Smoothie was born out of a desire for a healthy, filling, and delicious breakfast that could be made quickly and easily. I had been experimenting with matcha powder for a while, and I was looking for a way to incorporate it into my daily routine. Around the same time, I was also trying to find a way to use up some ripe avocados. One morning, I threw all of these ingredients into my blender, and the Energizing Matcha Avocado Smoothie was born!
