01 -

The natural sugars from bananas give you steady energy instead of that afternoon crash
Matcha provides L-theanine which creates calm focus unlike regular caffeine
Takes literally five minutes from start to finish

02 -

Matcha can clump if you dump it directly into liquid always add it first or whisk it with a tiny bit of liquid before blending
Frozen bananas transform this from a drink into something almost like soft serve ice cream
The longer you blend the frothier it gets but be careful not to overheat the matcha

03 -

Invest in a small whisk to break up matcha clumps before adding to the blender
The smoothie keeps for about 24 hours in the fridge but the texture is best immediately after blending
