I was recently offered the opportunity to sample and review Kiss Me Organics’ organic matcha powder. I was happy to oblige!
I know that green tea is good for you. I try to drink it but my deference is always to coffee (sorry, I’m not sorry). One serving of matcha powder is supposed to equal 10 cups of green tea so I added it to a smoothie because though I’m not big on protein powders I do try to add nutritious ingredients to my smoothies (like hemp seeds, flax oil, etc.).
I suspected the matcha powder would be a bit overpowering so I added vibrant, zesty parsley to the smoothie, as well as very sweet frozen fruit (a blend of grapes, pineapple, strawberries and mango). I was completely wowed by this thick, creamy smoothie and my husband, who somewhat reluctantly accepted the very green glass of breakfast from me, was equally wowed and exclaimed, “That’s a keeper!”
Green (Tea) Smoothie for Two
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 bananas
- 2 teaspoons Organic Matcha
- 1 cup mixed frozen fruit (I went on the sweet side)
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
- 1 cup ice
Add all ingredients to a blender, blend until smooth, serve and enjoy!
YIELD: Serves 2
Yes! I’m finally drinking green tea on a regular basis!

Frozen blueberries, bananas, some silken tofu, almond milk and then a mix of other things usually tastes good to me.
Peaches and matcha are absolutely delicious smoothie combination.
I’ve been adding about 1/4 of an avocado to every smoothie, along with a banana. They make my smoothies nice & creamy and very filling.
Coconut water, banana, dates, cacoa nibs, coconut butter (or chocolate coconut butter), cinnamon, cardamom and spinach.
kale, ambla powder, frozen pineapple, frozen mangos.
frozen peach slices, frozen mango, frozen banana, vanilla almond milk, a dash of agave. And I’ve been known to throw in vegan green or vanilla protein powder.
My favorite smoothie ingredients are kale, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, non dairy yogurt, orange juice, and frozen bananas.
I bought some matcha tea a couple years ago and it has a fishy flavor to me, so will try this brand! Just yesterday I saw it sitting in the fridge and was thinking I’d try it in a smoothie rather than drink it. I always put chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla in my smoothies – recently making an effort to put kale or spinich in with the fruit, get away from protein powders and use nuts iinstead, and go with unsweetened almond milk rather than soy.
Bananas, almond butter, coconut, almond milk, cocoa mixed in the vitamin – almost like ice cream…
Kale, peeled lemon, fall cranberries, chia seed, and celery. If I add fruit, I like peeled orange, wild blueberries or organic strawberries. Spirulina contains neurotoxins (new info — in the past it was deemed safe) so I avoid it.
Frozen raspberries!!!
I get an amazing ginger, pineapple, soymilk, orange smoothie from Mariposa Market in Willits, California. When we make them at home, I love a classic strawberry, banana, blueberry smoothie. Definitely going to try this one out, though!
Cucumber, avocado, banana, handful of various leafy greens, coconut water, ground seeds, and sometimes a little flax or coconut oil. Yummy!
1 scoop RAW chocolate protein powder
1 scoop Amazing Grass Chocolate Green Superfood
1T chia seeds
1T maca powder
