Start Mom’s day off with a soothing and invigorating smoothie. This combination of earthy matcha and fresh mint with the slight sweetness of maple syrup results in a delicious sipper. Let Mom savour it slowly and enjoy the complex layers of flavour. The frozen bananas keep it cold and refreshing while the hemp hearts give it a dash of protein.

Slice and freeze
The night before you want to make this smoothie, slice a banana, place slices in a freezer-proof container or bag and place in freezer. This will make it easier than working with a whole frozen banana.
