Grapefruit and matcha both bring a pleasant bitterness, and ripe banana wraps them in creamy sweetness. It is an unusual but very refreshing morning glass.

Creamy and fresh, with banana sweetness, grapefruit tartness and a grassy matcha finish.
Matcha is finely ground Japanese green tea and contains caffeine, which makes this smoothie a gentle alternative to a morning coffee. Its grassy flavour meets the tart, slightly bitter juiciness of grapefruit, a fruit well known for its vitamin C. Banana is the balancing element: it provides sweetness and a creamy body. Served in a jar, it is easy to take along to work or university.
