Honeydew melon is juicy and sweet enough to carry a spoonful of matcha, whose grassy bitterness gives the smoothie a grown-up edge. Green grapes add extra freshness.

Light and juicy, with honeyed melon sweetness and a delicate, grassy matcha finish.
Matcha is finely ground green tea from Japan, traditionally whisked with hot water in the tea ceremony. It contains caffeine, so this smoothie gives a gentle lift in the morning. The mild, honeyed sweetness of honeydew melon balances the slightly bitter, grassy tea, and green grapes contribute juice and a bit more sweetness. Because melon consists mostly of water, the drink stays very light.
Yes, matcha contains caffeine, so keep that in mind in the evening.
Galia or cantaloupe work too; cantaloupe turns the smoothie orange.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
