Matcha Milkshake

I have the ultimate best motivation to keep my energy  moving throughout the day, but for that I need  a boost which I can get from drinking a cup of green tea.   Everyone drinks green tea because of its therapeutic and soothing powers.  I love the flavor of green tea and have been on a smoothie kick myself recently.  I have a package of matcha powder I use to flavor things like ice cream, cookies, cakes and many more.

Let’s enjoy green tea, not as typical hot drink, but as a cold, creamy, and milky beverage.  My current favorite green tea beverage is matcha milkshake.  Trust me, it’s a heaven-sent energy booster, and it can indulge your sweet tooth, not to mention it looks so pretty yummy!

Here’s an easy recipe you could try if you love green tea (or even if you aren’t) and a big fan of milkshakes.  Make sure you use matcha powder, but if you don’t have matcha, you could also use  regular green tea powder.  Hey, what is the difference between matcha and green tea powder?  Actually matcha is a finely ground, powdered, high quality green tea and not the same as tea powder or regular green tea powder.  It’s ten times more potent that regular green tea and provides a powerful arsenal of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids like no other green tea.  Matcha’s level of antioxidants has been reported by Tufts University to exceed blueberries and pomegranates by 20 times or over.  It helps to fight cancer, burn fat, reduce stress, heighten mental clarity, and beautify your skin.  What’s not to love about it?
