Matcha sweets - I can't remember my life without them. Matcha ice cream, donuts, and cakes have become our go-to afternoon treats since moving to Japan.
This matcha smoothie, I swear, is a lot healthier option than any of others. Sure, matcha is healthful, but a doughnut is a doughnut.
We drink matcha like this at home. I start with my favorite smoothie base, almond milk and bananas, and then add matcha powder and vanilla bean.
Matcha is a finely ground, high-quality green tea powder. It tastes sweeter than steeped green tea and is far healthier because all of the excellent green tea antioxidants are concentrated. Try it in this matcha smoothie, and you'll be addicted.
Purchasing matcha for the first time can be perplexing because there are so many brands and they vary greatly in quality.
I've tried all of the best matcha powders for tea, lattes, and baking. My favorite for smoothies is Golde Pure Matcha Ceremonial Grade!
It contains no added sugar and has a strong flavor that stands out among the other smoothie ingredients.
Purchase the Golde Pure Matcha Ceremonial Grade on Amazon for $29, or explore some of the other matcha powders I tested to discover the ideal one for you!
