The verdict? I can honestly say it was the first time I ever enjoyed coconut! Turns out all it needed was a little matcha magic. I usually think coconut overpowers everything but it doesn’t here at all. It’s such a light, refreshing smoothie with a wonderful balance of flavors. Another great way to change up my daily matcha routine!
