Most smoothies blend some combination of fruits and veggies, add a base liquid like almond milk, water, and sometimes juice (which isn’t encouraged because it’s high in calories and sugar), and then call it a day.
But this incredibly unique, delicious, and highly nutritious smoothie incorporates matcha green tea powder, which is a total game changer in smoothies.
One of the best reasons to start making this addictive, delicious smoothie is because actual science backs up its calorie-burning magic.
According to studies, there is a powerful antioxidant in green tea called catechins that boost your metabolism and can help you lose weight or maintain your weight.
The components in green tea are also excellent at neutralizing harmful free radicals from cells and can increase thermogenesis, which is the body’s ability to generate heat all on its own, which increases calorie burning.
To boot: matcha green tea powder contains caffeine (less so than coffee, but it’s still there). And studies have shown that caffeine gives your metabolism a sweet boost.
