Ingredients
Method
- Brew green tea ahead of time: Steep 1 green tea bag in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of hot water. Let it cool completely in the fridge or over ice.
- Add base liquids: Pour the soy milk and chilled green tea into your blender.
- Add fruits and veggies: Add frozen banana, avocado, and frozen spinach or kale to the blender.
- Add boosters: Sprinkle in the chia seeds, matcha powder, hemp seeds (if using), ginger, and protein powder.
- Flavor boost: Add vanilla extract and squeeze in the fresh lemon juice.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high for 60–90 seconds, until creamy and smooth. Add ice cubes if a thicker smoothie is desired and blend again.
- Taste and serve: Taste for sweetness or sharpness. If desired, you may add a teaspoon of honey or monk fruit sweetener (Mounjaro-friendly), but it's often sweet enough without.
- Pour and enjoy: Serve immediately in a chilled glass. Best consumed fresh.
Notes
Why matcha? Matcha adds antioxidants and calm alertness without the crash of coffee.
Great for mornings: This smoothie is energizing, gut-friendly, and balanced with healthy fats and plant protein.
Storage: Best fresh, but can be stored up to 12 hours in the fridge; stir or shake before drinking.
