Oh matcha, where have you been all my life?! Since the first time I had matcha was a few months ago, I’m shocked that I haven’t tried it before then. I know that it has been very popular, especially lately, and now I understand why. Other than it having that beautiful green hue and it being versatile enough to mix into almost any food, it has amazing health benefits too! Let’s visit them briefly.

So prior to actually using this matcha powder I purchased, it just sat on my counter for a while, hopefully as a reminder to myself to use it, then I moved it to my spice drawer because I wasn’t feeling inspired, and now I am kicking myself in the bootay for not trying a recipe that includes this powerhouse powder sooner! I decided to just dive right in and try this idea I had for a shake recipe. I had envisioned a swirly twirly type drink; almost with a tie-dye effect, and I think matcha was the perfect candidate to make my vision come to life. This recipe is a great grab-n-go breakfast not only because it’s simple to make, but because of all those wonderful health benefits- I mean, talk about a great way to start your day…
So in this shake, I blended matcha powder + almond milk + a frozen banana + mango + avocado + a scoop of Vega vanilla plant protein powder. I then poured some lite coconut milk in the jars, and topped with the matcha shake mixture. The kiwi flowers were just for fun, but you could certainly add in some fruit chunks too! The coconut milk layered tie-dye look is optional, the shake itself tastes great, and you could even sub the almond milk for coconut milk, but if you wanna jazz it up and add some spunk, try making it as I did and have fun with it!
p.s. If you’re looking for a great plant based protein, Vega is by far my favorite! Shop below!

Matcha has the color I like and is full of energy. Your recipes are super simple, I think I can do it easily. I have a question. Do n’t drink too much matcha, it will cause harm. I read the message on http://eoopro.com/, I wonder if it is true?
