Mango Matcha Drink Benefits
I used 4 natural healthy ingredients to make this green smoothie. For that reason the smoothie offers several benefits.
Here are some of the main benefits of drinking this smoothie:
- Antioxidant Boost: Matcha green tea powder is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which can help protect your cells from oxidative damage.
- A Boost of Vitamins and Minerals: The smoothie includes vitamins and minerals from multiple sources. Mango provides vitamin A and vitamin C, while matcha green tea contains vitamins A and C as well. Coconut water contributes potassium, which is essential for proper muscle and nerve function.
- Tasty Source of Hydration: Coconut water is an excellent natural source of electrolytes, making it a good choice for staying hydrated.
- High In Fiber: The smoothie contains high amounts of fiber, which can promote digestive health and help you feel full for longer.
- Boosts Energy: The natural sugars from the mango and the caffeine in matcha green tea can provide a gentle energy boost.
- Contains Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Chia seeds are a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can support heart and brain health.
- Aids Weight Loss: The fiber and protein in the green smoothie can contribute to feelings of fullness. Furthermore, the smoothie is relatively low in calories.
- Possible Detoxification: Matcha green tea may help with detoxification due to its antioxidant content.
- Digestive Regularity: The fiber in in the smoothie can promote regular bowel movements and overall digestive health.
How To Make Matcha And Mango Smoothie
This mango matcha smoothie recipe needs 4 ingredients only and is sweetened with the mango only. It’s also completely dairy-free and vegan.
These are the ingredients you will need:
- Frozen mango: Using frozen mango instead of fresh can really help the consistency and the freshness of the smoothie. I definitely recommend that you use frozen mango.
- Matcha powder: I always use high quality matahca powder. I use Dr. Mercola Royal Matcha Green Tea Powder.
- Coconut Water: The coconut water adds a refreshing taste to the smoothie, and it naturally works very well with mango.
- Chia Seeds: The chia seeds provide numerous nutrients to the smoothie, but they also help thicken the smoothie too.
- Spinach (optional): If you have spinach or kale at home, throw a handful in your blender for extra nutrients.
Making the smoothie:
- To make the smoothie add your frozen mango pieces first to your blender since they are the most difficult to blend.
- Add the rest of your ingredients to the blender.
- Blend until smooth, it took me roughly 3 minutes to blend mine and reach the perfect consistency.
Options To Add Twists To This Smoothie Recipe
What I love about smoothies is that most of the time, you can easily customize them and add or swap ingredients.
Here are some customization options that you may like:
- If you don’t have coconut water, do not worry, you can simply substitute it for dairy-free milk of choice. Just make sure it’s unsweetened!
- Instead of chia seeds, you can either use oats or a tablespoon of nut butter such cashew butter or even peanut butter.
- For an interesting twist to the recipe, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder. It can add a nice chocolatey flavor.
- The smoothie is sweetened purely from the mango, but if you like sweeter smoothies, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
- You can add a handful of leafy greens such as kale or spinach for more nutrition.
- As an addition to the mango, you can add banana or even berries. 1/2 cup is what I usually add as an extra when I make this recipe.
