Matcha Love for Dad: Pineapple + Matcha + Oat-Milk Smoothie

Matcha Love for Dad: Pineapple + Matcha + Oat-Milk Smoothie 

Is it me or do the months of June, July, & August ripen with sweetness with each passing day?

When the sun is bright & strong, I often crave something sweet, refreshing, cool, & oh yeah, healthy too.

Summer is king for many reasons, but one of my favorite reasons is all the abundance of fresh fruit in the supermarkets as well as the farmer's markets. After all, fruits are the real royalty of summer, right? 

Before you pack up your reusable shopping bags & grab your straw hat, you'll want to blend yourself a delicious {& super quick} pineapple + oat-milk + matcha smoothie. 

On the topic of matcha, my dad loves herbal tea & that got me to thinking about Father's Day.

Father's Day is so close {Saturday, June 21st} maybe dad would like a matcha smoothie too? If my dad likes this, possibly, yours will too. 

For this recipe, I used the Jade Leaf individual matcha packets. This is a go-to for me as the matcha is pre-measured out & this blend has pre-biotics. 

I found that blending the matcha with vanilla-flavored oat-milk really helps balance the sometimes bitter taste of matcha. In fact, this smoothie comes out on the sweeter side without being overly so.

Ingredients for Pineapple + Matcha + Oat-Milk Smoothie 

• One Pack of Matcha Latte Infusion {I used the Probiotics & Prebitotics}  
• 1/2 cup frozen pineapple 
• 1/3-1/2 cup vanilla oat milk {depending on how thick you like your smoothies}
• 2 to 3 ice cubes 
• Fresh pineapple to garnish 
• Granola to garnish  

After adding all of the above into your blender, blend until smooth. Pour in a chilled glass & garnish with fresh pineapple as well as granola if desired. This granola is the Bear Naked Dark Chocolate & Seasalt Bites. 

& If you're sharing this with dad, be sure to make a little extra as it is extra good, especially, on a hot sweet summer day.
