Delicious Smoothies and Drinks
In the mornings we often enjoy smoothies because they are a quick and healthy start to the day. Here I combined Asian flavors of Matcha (Green Tea) and coconut to create a nice creamy and slightly herbal taste experience. This Matcha-Coconut-Almond Smoothie was inspired by the popular Matcha Latte, though I wanted to create something richer and creamier that includes the very healthy and uniquely tasting Matcha. I could drink this daily, it’s so delicious!
Especially after a long and cold winter, it’s important to boost your body with vitamins to help support a healthy metabolism for a fresh start into beautiful spring weather. Therefore, the combination of ginger and lemon is perfect. Your immune system will thank you if you start drinking this power smoothie regularly.
My kids are not big eaters in the early morning before school, but I always try to give them at least a little bite before they leave the house. A few months ago I had a conversation about healthy food with my oldest daughter Zoe (yes, she is already interested in cooking and asks a lot of questions about healthy food and junk food). That’s when we came up with the idea of starting the early mornings with nice smoothies, to also help the kids concentrate in school. When living in Cape Town we had a healthy little restaurant (Kauai) right next door and we often stopped by to get some delicious and freshly made smoothies. I couldn’t find anything similar in Luxembourg, so why not make our own smoothies at home to start the day?
