Kris Carr’s All Day Energy Smoothie

Straight out of her brand new book, Crazy Sexy Juice, Kris Carr shares her favorite energy-sustaining recipe!

All Day Energy

This smoothie is creamy, filling, and designed to help keep your energy levels stable and strong throughout the day. Matcha is a form of stoneground green tea leaves. It’s thought to have all of the antioxidant benefits of green tea, but in a more concentrated form. In addition to its energy enhancing qualities, Matcha is associated with mood regulation, increased metabolism, and antioxidant power. It makes a wonderful addition to smoothies (especially if you’re trying to kick the coffee habit).

In this blend, matcha plays deliciously well with avocado, banana, and vanilla. I recommend using homemade almond milk or cashew hemp milk in this smoothie if you can; they really enhance the taste!
