Some people find the matcha taste to be quite strong, however, we haven’t used a huge amount of matcha in this smoothie recipe, so it’s not overpowered.

Are Matcha Smoothies Good For Weight Loss?
Matcha has so many health benefits, and one of those is weight loss. It’s also a great replacement for coffee, it makes amazing lattes!
Does matcha burn belly fat? It boosts your metabolism, which helps your body burn more calories. This can lead to weight loss. So yes, it can help with fat loss.

How Much Matcha Should I Drink a Day To Lose Weight?
The typical amount of matcha you should be consuming a day for fat loss varies, but it’s typically between 1-4 teaspoons.
Everyone is different, so start with low amounts and see what works for you. Increase the amount if needed.
Personally, for me, 3 teaspoons a day was perfect. It allowed me to make 2 lattes or smoothies, using 1.5 teaspoons per drink.
However, you have to consider other factors when trying to lose weight.
Increase physical activity, eat healthily, and keep calories low. This should result in weight loss.
