Yup, that's right — a green pea smoothie!!
As a kid, I loved to pick the pods from the garden and eat the little sun-warmed gems straight-up!
And green peas pack a nutritional punch, too! They are rich in vitamins & minerals including vitamins K & C as well as disease-fighting antioxidants like coumestrol, which is believed to reduce the risk of stomach cancer. Furthermore, one cup of peas contains approximately 8 grams of fibre and 8 grams of protein.

Read MoreMATCHA MINT CHIP COCONUT NICE CREAM

We absolutely love vegan ice cream at my house. The kids suggested the combo of matcha and mint chip since they are big fans of both flavours. I also added a splash of lime for freshness -- and because research shows that citrus helps increase the absorption of antioxidants from the matcha!
