August 7th, 2012 | Matcha Mango Pineapple Smoothie

Welp, I’ve been eating mushy food all week because of my accident. At first, I couldn’t really open my mouth. And now while I can do this, I still can’t chew because my teeth are still really soar and tender. Mashed potatoes, rice pudding, squash, canned tuna, smoothies, apple sauce, you name it.  This has been a miracle worker in my mush-diet which would often leave me feeling hungrier than before. It’s been a favourite recipe for a long time and is usually a part of my morning routines I’ve been meaning to share it for months now.

This is such a great recipe to wake you up and energize you for your day. Matcha green tea is so heathy for you. One glass is equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of antioxidant content and nutritional value. It’s a cancer fighting, fat burning and metabolism enhancing machine loaded with vitamin C, Chromium, Zinc, and Magnesium. It will also help your body fight against any viruses and bacterias and lowers cholesterol and blood sugar. It’s also known to enhance moods and aid in concentration and alertness.

♥ 1.25 tsp matcha green tea (I use DavidsTea’s Matcha Matsu)
♥ 1 scoop protein powder
♥ some honey
♥ 1 c frozen mango chunks
♥  1 tbsp pineapple juice
♥ 1 c pineapple
♥ 1/2 to 1 c water (depending on how thick you like your smoothies)

Toss it all in a blender, and away we go! Easy peasy, right?!

    Mmmm! I’ll have to keep this recipe in mind! In my humble opinion, smoothies are one of the best things on the planet :) Hopefully your mush diet ends soon!

    Might be a dumb question, but the tea you use is it the inside of what’s in the tea bag that you pour in?

      No, matcha tea is a type of tea that is a lightweight green powder. It doesn’t come in tea bags, but instead just a tin. Compared to regular green tea it had 10x the amount of benefits in just one cup. It’s essentially the entire tea plant, not just the leaves, and is ground up into powder. It’s great for baking with too. You can get it at any tea store (I get mine from Davids. Teavana is another major tea retailer that will cary it) or health food stores!
