PINEAPPLE GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE

Pineapple Green Tea Smoothie image

I am an obsessive morning smoothie fan and was wasting a ton of money at Plant Smoothie in the morning. So, I learned to make them! My favorites are the ones with matcha green tea! A lot of times it's just trial and error with the ingredients until you find what's best to your test, but here's a sample of one I make for you to try! If you like it I'll be happy to post others.

Yield 1 smoothie, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
7 -8 ice cubes
1/4 cup frozen pineapple (or other desired fruit)
2 -3 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
skim milk

Steps:

Put about 1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen yogurt in the bottom of blender.
Add ice cubes.
Add fruit. (I used pineapple- you can use whatever fruit you think would taste good with green tea, and more or less fruit depending on how "fruity" you want the drink).
Add green tea powder, I just pour in the powder from the bag in ridiculous amounts but I really like to taste the green tea.
Add vanilla extract.
Pour milk on top to cover fruit.
Add around another 1/2 cup frozen yogurt.
Blend until smooth, enjoy!
(If you don't find it perfect- next time you can make adjustments to suit you).
