Matcha Mint Chip Smoothie

This matcha smoothie recipe is low effort and high reward — plus you already have most of the ingredients hanging out around the house. (Shoutout to @chickpeainthecity for coming up with this inventive #MizubaMatcha recipe!)

What you'll need:

• 1 Tbsp chia seeds (for fiber)
  
• 2 Tbsp hemp seeds (for iron & protein)
  
• 1 scoop collagen (unflavored — for protein)
  
• 1 1/2 cups water
  
• 1 frozen banana
  
• 1/2 frozen avocado (optional — it'll make the smoothie creamier)
  
• 1 tsp Mizuba Culinary Organic matcha
  
• 1 dash peppermint extract — as little as possible, but you can add more to taste
  
• A few ice cubes
  
• Chocolate chips or cacao nibs to taste

Instructions:

1. Add everything besides the chocolate to your blender and blend, blend, blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
2. Stir in chocolate with a spoon if you want bigger pieces, or add and then briefly blend for smaller pieces.

That's it! Enjoy.
