Morning Matcha Smoothie

For a refreshing and filling morning smoothie that packs all the nutrients you need to start your day off right. 

I had my first matcha latte in 2020 and since then it’s been my favorite drink in the mornings. I alternate between that, black coffee, or tea but there’s just something special about the mornings that I have a matcha drink. It feels like I’m giving my body the energy it needs with the added bonus of all the health benefits that come from matcha. 

Matcha is rich in antioxidants and has been studied and found to improve brain function, heart health, and aids in weight loss. Aside from being so good for you, it tastes good! 

And lately I’ve been experimenting with new ways to incorporate matcha into my mornings. Below is a recent breakfast favorite to try if you’re looking to mix things up in your breakfast rotation.
