Bringing
a bit of zen into your morning, this refreshing, emerald hued smoothie
finds creaminess from frozen banana and a brightness from a fresh
orange. Want more than a smoothie? Turn the base into a brilliant
smoothie bowl topped with your favorite goodies!
1 frozen banana, cut into small chunks
1/4 cup organic coconut water (add more if smoothie is too thick)
1/2 tsp organic matcha powder (we used Jade Leaf - Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder, Classic Culinary Grade 
from Amazon)
from Amazon)
1/4-1/2 cup ice cubes
Place
all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Depending on
the juiciness of your ornage you may need to add more coconut water to
thin.
Liv Life Note: Matcha Powder comes in either culinary or ceremonial grades. Ceremonial grade is meant for whisking and drinking as a tea, where culinary grade is meant for blending in to baked goods and drinks such as smoothies and lattes. The Jade Leaf brand my husband found is organic from Japan and grown on the Nagata Chaen farm near the city of Uji with matcha history dating back to the 13th century. Note, we have not been paid or given samples of this matcha - we purchased it ourselves and very much like it!
