Two Smoothie Recipes Jessica Alba Drinks To Help Stay Healthy

Jessica Alba has built an empire with her Honest brand, focusing on honest baby and beauty products with thoughtful designs. And it’s not just her brand that’s thoughtful – she actually lives a thoughtful lifestyle too. She often shares her health and beauty tips, such as these smoothie recipes, on social media with a positive and considerate message.

Being a busy mom, actress and running a business mean that Jessica has to make time to focus on her healthy lifestyle and workouts. Finding a balance is important too. She recently told Women’s Health that she works out two to four times a week. 

Jessica says, “I’ve learned to mix it up and not feel like a failure if I’m not, you know, killing myself.” She doesn’t always feel the need to push herself so hard like she is running a marathon. Sometimes a walk or a hike is her workout for the day and that’s ok.

Smoothies before and after your workouts should also taste great! We tried both of these smoothie recipes, and they both tasted excellent.

It has the exact flavor of a chocolate peanut butter cup, so definitely something you can look forward to during your workout.

Jessica Alba’s Matcha Green Tea Smoothie Recipe

Jessica Alba drinks this morning smoothie before her workouts to give her energy. The matcha powder contains a boost of caffeine, but doesn’t have the strong acid of coffee. If you aren’t familiar with matcha, it’s made from special green tea leaves and ground into a fine powder. It’s texture is perfect for using in smoothies, lattes, or baked goods. It has almost the same amount of caffeine as green tea or a cup of coffee, so it’s ideal for a morning, pre-workout energy boost.

Jessica Alba’s Matcha Green Tea Smoothie Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 banana
• Coconut water
• Ice

Jessica Alba’s Matcha Green Tea Smoothie Recipe Instructions:

Place the matcha green tea powder and protein powder in your blender first, then add the banana, coconut water and a little ice. This prevents the powders from dusting up too much when you turn on your blender. Blend everything until it’s a smooth consistency. Because smoothies taste best cold, serve over ice. You can also freeze your bananas if you like your smoothies extra cold. Drink before a workout to jump start energy and metabolism.
