Creamy Matcha Smoothie

This Creamy Matcha Smoothie is delicious, refreshing and so nourishing!

Are you a matcha lover or a hater? I was a hater, then I discovered I was buying poor-quality matcha. And once I tried a good matcha powder, everything changed! Matcha taste should be mild, balanced, earthy and a bit sweet, it shouldn’t taste strong and unpleasant like a glass of muddy grass. So before you give up on matcha, try buying a different brand. It might be pricier, but it’s so worth it. Matcha is not only delicious, it has so many health benefits. It’s packed with antioxidants and can help support your metabolism, your heart and your brain.

Notes

* Frozen bananas make creamy, delicious smoothies. Bananas need to be frozen for at least 8 hours. I like to keep a stash of frozen bananas in my freezer so I can make smoothies any time I want (all the time, actually). Peel them, cut them in half, and store them in an airtight container. The riper the bananas, the tastier and sweeter the smoothie. Green bananas = bland smoothies.
** Spinach doesn't change the taste, it just makes it greener and more nourishing.
