Matcha Milkshake
, by Shannon Hickman, 1 min reading time
I consider this a healthier milkshake recipe because it has added protein, healthy fats, and natural sweeteners. The matcha has a nice, light earthy flavor that seems to be easier to digest with a longer lasting energy than traditional coffee. Now I will warn you, matcha does contain some caffeine so this is more of a morning/afternoon type of smoothie unless you can tolerate caffeine late at night. Who needs milk and ice cream when you can make a milkshake out of ingredients like bananas, dates, and cashews?
