Mixed Berry Matcha Protein Smoothie
As the weather gets warmer, and it starts to feel more and more like summer, all I have been wanting lately are smoothies. My go-to is usually a banana-based green smoothie, but I have been mixing it up a lot lately and throwing berries in there more often.
This smoothie is the perfect treat for breakfast, a snack, or post-workout. It is packed full of three different kinds of berries, frozen cauliflower for added nutrients (but you don’t taste it!), and matcha green tea for an extra little boost of energy.
Matcha has tons of antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory, and provides the body with good clean energy with no crash later on. Oh, and don’t be scared of the cauliflower in your smoothies, my friends! I promise you can’t taste it, it is just a way to sneak in some extra veggies, AND it makes the smoothie extra thick and creamy. The key to putting cauliflower in your smoothies is to either buy it pre-frozen, or to chop up a head of cauliflower and steam it before putting it in a bag to freeze it.
You guys are going to love this one. Simple. Quick. Nutrient-dense. Delicious. Perfect.
