Minty Matcha Smoothie

Minty Matcha Protein Smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious beverage that combines the bold flavor of matcha with the unique addition of sattu, a protein-rich roasted gram flour.

The inclusion of bananas and chia seeds ensures a creamy texture while providing natural sweetness and fiber. Mint leaves and cinnamon powder add a refreshing and aromatic touch, making it a delightful way to start the day.

One of the key ingredients in this recipe, sattu, is a staple in Indian cuisine and is known for its high protein content and cooling properties.

Unlike chickpea flour, sattu is made from roasted gram and has a distinct nutty flavor. Combined with matcha, a powdered green tea rich in antioxidants, the smoothie is both energizing and wholesome.

The preparation is quick and effortless, requiring only a blender and a few minutes of your time. Since the smoothie oxidizes quickly due to the mint leaves, it’s best enjoyed fresh. To ensure a creamy consistency, we recommend using frozen bananas, which also eliminate the need for additional sweeteners.

This recipe is perfect for warm summer mornings or as a post-workout drink.

With its balance of protein, natural sweetness, and refreshing flavors, it’s a versatile addition to your daily diet. However, it’s not ideal for meal prep or storage due to the quick discoloration caused by the mint leaves.
