Green Tea Lime Pie Smoothie Bowl

This delicious smoothie base can be topped with all kinds of fruit, nut, seeds, granola or anything for a filling meal. Fresh greens and matcha provide lots of nutrition and an energizing kick, and the smoothie has an overall flavor similar to key lime pie (and is the color green!). Matcha green tea is a natural source of caffeine with lots of antioxidants. Enjoy this tasty, energizing and wholesome treat!
