Banana-Pineapple Matcha Smoothie

This drink is inspired by Meredith Baird's coconut kitchen recipe book. One of the main ingredients is matcha. What is matcha? Matcha comes from the same species of plant as green leaf teas. It is processed tea leaves that have been stone-ground into a delicate powder. Matcha is used in Japanese tea ceremony. For more information on matcha's health benefits, please read them here.

I'm a huge fan of this smoothie because it has all the right ingredients such as coconut, frozen ripe banana to make it creamier and fresh pineapple that goes perfectly with the matcha. This smoothie is perfect to throw into a pre-workout drink.

Strawberry, Fig and Banana Smoothie

Fresh figs are in season so it’s time to take advantage of them! I love figs - I pair them with ham or bacon. If you haven't tried bacon-wrapped figs then you're missing out ;-)

I like sipping on refreshing smoothies, especially on the weekend when time is on my side. So today, I thought I’d use anything in season and figs came into mind.
