Watermelon Lime Matcha Smoothie

February 1, 2024

Experience the refreshing Watermelon Lime Matcha Smoothie with this invigorating blend. Combine 1 cup of your preferred milk (unsweetened cashew works wonders) with approximately 1/2 cup of diced watermelon, ensuring you have four generous chunks. Introduce the vibrant flavors of 1 tablespoon of matcha powder and the juice of a lime.

Enhance the protein content with one serving of vanilla protein and 1/3 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt (opt for dairy-free if desired). For added richness, include 1-2 tablespoons of cashew or almond butter, or half an avocado if you prefer a creamy texture. Boost the fiber content with 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk, ground flax, or chia seeds. Add a handful of ice and, if you're feeling adventurous, incorporate 1/2 cup of frozen yellow squash, zucchini, or cauliflower for extra fiber and nutrients. Finish with a dash of pink salt for the perfect balance. Enjoy the revitalizing goodness of this Watermelon Lime Matcha Smoothie!
