With summer coming up, I’m all about making and drinking ice cold smoothies. I was thrilled when Tribest sent over a mason jar personal blender for me to use. Talk about perfect timing! Since we’re limited on space in our kitchen, this personal blender wasn’t too big for me to store in my cabinets. It’s small, yet powerful.
Not only that, but it’s quite versatile! It comes with lots of jars and lids for you to store your drinks in. You can blend them directly in your cup so there are less dishes to wash.
I’m still in shock at how all of these pieces fit into that one box.
I decided to make a matcha green tea avocado smoothie using DoMatcha powder. Have you ever used matcha powder before? My DF was dependent on it when he was studying for his LSATs. It’s great for focusing since it promotes health in mind and body. It also provides sustained energy without the jitters that coffee induces.
You can tell that they take time in packaging their matcha. There’s a foiled, air-tight package inside of a pop top can that has a twist cap. We’re sealing in all of the goodness, people.
Matcha powder is really a thing of beauty. It’s bright green color and fine texture is absolutely mesmerizing.
You can buy it online here. I know, I know.. it’s a little pricey but believe me, it’s worth it! The can may seem small, but you only need about a teaspoon of matcha for each cup of tea you make so a little goes a long way. Plus, there are a lot of health benefits that come with it!
This little blender whipped my drink up in no time, thanks to its 200 watt motor.
Just look at how smooth and creamy my drink came out!
The blender may have only one setting, but that’s what I like about it. It’s simple. No point in trying to figure out what speed you need for what, just pop everything in and twist.
If you don’t want to drink it right away, there’s also a cap that you can put onto your jars and store in the fridge for later.

This looks so great! do you think that i could replace the honey with agave nectar because I’m vegan? I’ve been doing this recently in some recipes, but they don’t always turn out the same.
