This Rhubarb Smoothie is healthy and creamy yet light and infused with cooled green or matcha tea.
You can make it with fresh or frozen rhubarb, and it is completely naturally sweetened.
I love rhubarb, and as soon as fresh rhubarb appears in my local grocery stores or at my farmer’s market, I have to buy it.
Usually, I turn the stalks into rhubarb compote or rhubarb muffins, but I always have a few stalks left to pair with sweet fresh strawberries and make this refreshing smoothie. Let's make it!
