A green smoothie with Matcha stirred through it gives you breakfast and a gentle caffeine lift in the same glass. Banana makes it sweet and thick, oat milk keeps it plant-based, and a handful of spinach vanishes into the green without tasting of much at all. Whisk the matcha into a little hot water first so it blends in smoothly rather than clumping. A good one to make when you are heading out for the day.
