MATCHA GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE OR ICED LATTE
If you've read a newspaper or watched the news recently you've probably heard about all the health benefits of drinking Green Tea. It has tons of antioxidents and helps boost metabolism and helps you burn more fat and thus lose more weight. I enjoy drinking green tea and occasionally I enjoy a Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino, or a Jamba Juice Matcha Smoothie Blast. This recipe is one I developed to be able to enjoy these smoothies at home. I think it tastes great and is really good for your health too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please note that this recipe does require premium matcha green tea powder. This is not just regular green tea leaves pulverized. This premium powder can be purchased at Japanese grocers, or online. I happen to purchase mine on that popular online auction site I'm sure you're familiar with. I use the "Usucha" (or thin) matcha green tea powder that comes straight from Kyoto, Japan. Feel free to contact me if you need help finding this tea and I can show you where to purchase it directly. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality matcha powder: Look for matcha that is stone-ground and has a vibrant green color. Avoid matcha that is low-quality or has a dull color.
- Use the right amount of matcha: A good starting point is 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder per cup of liquid. Adjust the amount to taste.
- Whisk the matcha powder until it is dissolved: Use a bamboo whisk or a fork to whisk the matcha powder until it is completely dissolved and there are no clumps.
- Add your desired ingredients: You can add a variety of ingredients to your matcha smoothie, such as milk, yogurt, fruit, and honey. Be creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Enjoy your matcha smoothie immediately: Matcha smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
