Smoothies, juices and salads are not the only ways you can enjoy superfood.
Fresh and delicious, this summer mocktail is bursting with the goodness of fresh strawberries and matcha powder.
I created this recipe for Eat Clean Tea as part of their #SummerOf Matcha campaign. Strawberry, basil, mint, lime and matcha powder make a refreshing combination, perfect for a hot summer day.

Made from green tea leaves, matcha is very high in antioxidants and is believed to give you long-lasting energy, boost your metabolism, aid fat burning, give you beautiful, clear skin and detoxify your body.
For variation, you can use Eat Clean Tea’s Matcha & Mint instead of the Matcha Original powder I have used here.
Also if you prefer an alcoholic version, there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding a splash of white rum to this Strawberry Matchito!
I hope you enjoy this strawberry matchito cocktail recipe as much as we do. If you do make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
