Spinach Avocado Smoothie with Matcha
Thick and creamy, fresh and slightly tangy from pineapple, with a subtle grassy tea note.
The mix of avocado and pineapple is a smart one: the fat and creaminess of the avocado meet the sweetness and acidity of the fruit, which balances the grassy taste of spinach and matcha. Matcha contains caffeine, but at half a teaspoon it stays moderate.
Thanks to the avocado this smoothie is quite filling. It suits a late breakfast or a midday snack, and it is best enjoyed fresh.
Yes, a little, from the matcha. Leave it out for a caffeine free version.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
It is best fresh, because the avocado browns. A little lime juice helps if it must wait an hour.
