Dairy-Free Matcha Smoothie

Matcha is a bit different than other green teas. The green leaves are steamed,
ground into a powder and then consumed – rather than steeped in hot water in a tea bag and then discarded, as you might with regular green tea. Because of this, matcha retains its nutritional value and does not have a bitter taste. It has a smooth, creamy texture that makes it a perfect ingredient for smoothies.

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond milk
• 2 cups ice
• 1 banana
• 2 Tbsp coconut kefir or coconut yogurt
• 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
• 1 Tbsp almond butter
• 2 tsp organic matcha tea
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 tsp raw honey, or to taste
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Cacao nibs, for topping

Instructions

1. Blend all the ingredients together. Sprinkle with cacao nibs.
