Today we make a delicious matcha detox smoothie, using the precious green antioxidant powder that benefits the whole body. For those who have never tried Matcha, I recommend giving it a try — it is a true antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient; when consumed daily it brings great benefits to the entire body. Even the complexion becomes more radiant. The one I use is -> ceremonial matcha, the most prized grade. We add avocado for a good amount of healthy fats and unsweetened cocoa powder rich in health-promoting properties, which gives a chocolate flavor to our smoothie. A snack (or breakfast) suitable for everyone, also for the Keto Diet.
