McCormick Good Morning Peach Matcha Green Tea Smoothie Boost Mix Packets, 4 count

I love smoothies and was looking forward to trying this new blend (Peach Matcha Green Tea). I tried it two ways: first I tried adding it to my favorite vanilla fruit smoothie with a mixture of frozen banana/cantaloupe/cherries/blue berries with vanilla almond milk and vanilla protein/fiber powder. It was okay, but I preferred my straight vanilla fruit smoothie taste better. Next I tried it WITHOUT the vanilla powder and extra fruit and used just this green tea powder packet mixed with the frozen banana/cantaloupe with milk or almond milk (per the instructions). It was okay as well, but I guess I just don't prefer the green tea flavor in my smoothies.I certainly will use the remaining packets. The benefit of this Good Morning product over my vanilla powder is that it has fewer calories (40 versus 75) and no fat (versus 2g). However, it also has half the protein (5 grams versus 10.5 grams), no dietary fiber (0 versus 5 grams), more sugar (2 grams versus .75 grams), and no calcium or iron (0 versus 4% and 15% in the vanilla powder).I know there are health benefits to green tea. But I didn't see any mention of that on the packaging. So I'm not sure what the 'matcha green tea powder' in this product does to benefit health.

This was not our family's favorite smoothie mix. We tried it a few ways, with juice, with milk, and once with milk and fruit, and although the flavor was not bad the consistency was always a bit odd. We tried it with the fruit first and I though that maybe the powder did not mix well because of the fruit. So, the next time I tried just with milk, and still had issues with the clumps and thick consistency. So we gave it a shot with apple juice and same consistency issues. The peach flavor was nice, the matcha green tea was alright, but the consistency just didn't make this one a winner for us.

I'm going with 3 stars on this, specifically because it uses whey but mostly because we didn't care for the flavor at all. I love green tea, I love peaches. I don't love this version of them. We had to add a whole lot of other stuff to it to even be able to stand it, and since its nutrition stats aren't all that, it makes it not so useful for us.Taste is, of course, subjective, and it's good there's nothing artificial in it, so it's possible others would really like it.Don't forget to use the Smile.Amazon.com address - many things you buy every day will generate a small donation to the charity of your choice.

Smoothies are a regular part of my family’s diet – we drink them on a daily basis. Because of that, I was happy to have a chance to use and review McCormick Good Morning Smoothie Boost Mix Packets, Peach Matcha Green Tea Mix.I found McCormick Good Morning Smoothie Boost Mix Packets, Peach Matcha Green Tea Mix to be okay. I used this mix with almond milk and frozen fruit (the way I make all my smoothies) and found the smoothie mix didn’t mix all that well (I use a Ninja Blender). Because it didn’t mix well, the smoothie was on the thick side and a bit tough to drink. Having said that, this smoothie actually tastes quite good – the peach flavor is nice but not overwhelming.In the end, while the smoothie was a bit thick, I did enjoy McCormick Good Morning Smoothie Boost Mix Packets, Peach Matcha Green Tea Mix.

I recently got peach flavor tea for brewing and loved it, so I thought maybe some Peach Matcha Green Tea Smoothie "Booster" could be fun. This mix can be added to juice or milk (or milk alternate) which I tried both. There is a recipe for an actual Smoothie where you put the mix, frozen fruit, and liquid of your choice in the blender which I did not try. As for I did try, the results were fairly similar, the mix was very chunky and most of it set on top (even when putting in the glass first). Even after a minute or two of stirring it still did not mix very well. As for the taste, it is alright, I did like the mix with orange juice more than I did milk, but both ways it does not go down very smooth thanks to the chunky mix.

My advice, do not use as instructed. The box says to mix with something like milk or milk substitute. I am here to tell you that this product (or at the Peach Matcha Green Tea that I received from the Vine program) is VILE. The taste made me frown and shudder. HOWEVER, when I added just a touch of milk and used lots of fruit, the beverage/smoothie was much better. I also tried it with a bit of water and fresh fruit and the result was better too. Lastly, I tried it with fruit juice and this was probably the best way yet! So feel free to try this various ways of your own making.

I do like the convenience of these packets for the added protein but it is only 5 grams - although extra protein is better than nothing with fruit I guess. I wish it packed more fiber and protein, otherwise, it seems I'm adding sugar and calories for nothing. You get four packets in the box for $8 which means each is $2 - kinda expensive since you still have to add the fruit or juice. Interesting flavor combinations and no artificial junk to worry about. I don't see myself buying again.

I found this to be very chunky. It didnnnnnnn't mix well at all. Well, as far as taste goes, I wouldn't call it unpalatable, but I have taster better. It's okay for the price, but this won't be a regular purchase for me.
