Matcha tea is a special type of stone-ground, traditional Japanese green tea that contains natural polyphenol antioxidant compounds called catechins, which are known to have many beneficial health properties. The caffeine in matcha tea is released in the body steadily due to its other compounds, so there’s no jittery caffeine peak with this smoothie.

With the bittersweet Matcha Whey Protein in combination with spicy root ginger and fresh sweet peaches, this smoothie was made to make you feel revitalised all morning!

Ingredients

1 Scoop (25g) Matcha Whey Protein
2 Medium-Sized Fresh Peaches
½ Thumb Root Ginger (grated)
75ml Milk (of your choice)

Method

#1 Chop the peaches and place into blender, along with Matcha whey, ginger and milk.

#2 Blend until smooth.
