" MATCHA SHAKE OBSESSION "

                                         




Secret Ingredient Matcha Shake
serves 1-2

1 large banana, frozen
1 1/4 cups watermelon, frozen
3/4 -1 cup soy milk
1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
1/2 - 1 tsp matcha powder*

*the matcha is actually optional. The watermelon-soy-banana shake on its own is quite fantastic.

calories: 276, fat: 5g, protein: 9g, fiber: 7g Rich in vitamins A and C and calcium.

Blend until frosty smooth.

This is a thick blend so use a plunger to get things moving. 
If you have a weaker blender, adding a few more splashes of soy milk may help.

I seriously can't even describe how much I love this smoothie. You just have to try it. There is something about the watermelon that makes it frosty - and when blended with the creamy banana and soy it takes on the texture of an ice cream milkshake.

I tried subbing the watermelon for strawberries one day and it just didn't have the same effect.

No matcha? ..yes, you can actually remove the matcha if need be and just enjoy as a creamy watermelon-banana shake.

Back to smoothie book writing for me! Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.Nelly sure is..
