Cinnamon Matcha Prune Protein Smoothie

Ingredients

• 350 ml unsweetened soy milk — chilled
• 40 g plain plant-based protein powder — ready to use
• 50 g pitted prunes — roughly chopped
• 60 g cooked brown rice — cooled
• 8 g ground flaxseed — ready to use
• 1.5 g ground cinnamon — ready to use
• 1 g matcha powder — sifted optional
• 80 g ice cubes — optional for extra chill optional

Instructions

1. Add the unsweetened soy milk to a blender jug, followed by the plant-based protein powder so it disperses evenly.
2. Add the pitted prunes, cooked and cooled brown rice, and ground flaxseed to the blender.
3. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and matcha powder, then add the ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.
4. Blend on low speed to start, then increase to high and blend for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy, with no visible prune or rice pieces.
5. Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed, then blend again until the texture is very smooth and easy to sip.
6. Taste and, if desired, add a small splash of extra soy milk to thin, blending briefly again; divide into two small glasses and serve slowly, sipping over 10–15 minutes.
