Origin of the Recipe

This smoothie blends Japanese tradition with modern superfoods. Matcha — finely ground green tea powder — has been used in Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries. Its distinct umami flavor pairs perfectly with the buttery texture of avocado, a fruit long cherished in Mexican and Californian cuisines. The result? A modern wellness drink with deep cultural roots.
