Avocado Matcha Smoothie
What do you do when all of your avocados ripen at the same time? Guacamole for sure, but don’t forget about smoothies!
Avocados are full of healthy fat — so they help us absorb fat soluble nutrients. In addition, they’re good for prostate health.
Now let’s talk about matcha — it’s a powder made from green tea leaves. I absolutely love to incorporate this special green tea powder into my daily routine. If you don’t love tea or lattes, this is yet another way you can bring those powerful green tea antioxidants into your diet.
I always like to sneak in some extra veggies along the way, so this smoothie also includes some cauliflower rice. You won’t even taste the cauliflower — I promise!
