Sara's Matcha Protein Smoothie: What’s in it?

To make the smoothie, Sara starts by blending:

A few dates

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder

1 scoop of collagen peptides

1 teaspoon of matcha powder

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk

1–2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond butter

Once blended to a creamy consistency, the mixture is poured over ice and served cold.

According to Sara, the smoothie contains around 35 grams of protein and is packed with antioxidants, offering a sustained energy boost without the jittery crash of coffee. “It gives you steady energy without the crash,” she explained.

Sara even invited her friend Sanya to try the drink on camera. Her verdict? “It’s really good!” she said, giving it a clear thumbs-up as the two shared a light-hearted moment sipping the green concoction together.

In her caption, Sara summed it up perfectly: “Over 30 grams of protein, with matcha and skincare benefits? Sounds like a dream to meeee.”
