Not all green smoothies hit the mark but this one? It’s creamy, just sweet enough and leaves you feeling pretty dang refreshed.
The combo of avocado and matcha sounds fancy but it’s super chill to throw together. You get that rich creamy vibe from the avocado, a gentle kick from the matcha and just enough sweetness from honey to keep it interesting.
Almond milk keeps it light and dairy-free without tasting watered down. This blend is your go-to when you need something quick but still feel like you’re doing something good for your body.
Wanna get cute with it? Pour it into a bowl and toss on some granola or fresh fruit. It’s the kind of breakfast that looks good and feels even better.
