Matcha Avocado Smoothie for Brain Power
This creamy, vibrant green smoothie combines the L-theanine of ceremonial matcha with the healthy fats of avocado to provide sustained energy and cognitive focus without the caffeine crash.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder sifted to remove lumps
- 0.5 medium ripe avocado pitted and peeled
- 1 cup baby spinach tightly packed
- 1 frozen banana sliced before freezing for easier blending
- 1.5 unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added Omega-3s
- 1 tsp honey optional, or use one medjool date
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Notes
For a caffeine-free version, swap matcha for moringa powder. To make ahead, portion the dry ingredients, spinach, and fruit into a freezer bag; just add milk and blend when ready. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours, though color may darken slightly due to avocado oxidation.
