A creamy green matcha smoothie bowl with banana, avocado and spinach. A super refreshing smoothie to start your day or a revitalizing afternoon snack.
I am a smoothie person who love to start day with smoothie. I have been eyeing on Matcha powder to make a smoothie. But for a long time, I could only find it in stores that sold bulk quantities and I did not want to buy a large amount. Finally, I found it in local Walmart, and I was like a kid who find a long-lost toy. Then I decide to start my day with Matcha green Smoothie bowl.
My love for green tea started during my stay in Japan. Now only occasionally I am drinking green tea. I think I need to start that habit again. Healthy foods can also taste great, this smoothie bowl is an example. You can assure that, this is coming from a person who doesn’t like raw spinach. Yes, I like them only when it is cooked not as raw. But in this smoothie, I didn’t feel any taste different. 
From now on you can expect lot of matcha recipes, yes, I am going to try them in baking too. I didn’t keep any resolution, still I want to make some changes in my habit, but it is so cold to venture out. Once the cold subsides I am going to start walking again.
Do you know Matcha green tea has these amazing qualities, It is high in Antioxidant like Catechin, EGCg. It enhances relaxation, boost memory and concentrations, increase energy levels, burns calories, detoxify body and fortify the immune system. Matcha is also a powerful detoxifier capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.
