Savory Matcha Miso Energy Smoothie
This savory matcha miso smoothie is designed for GLP-1 users who need steady energy but can only manage small, gentle portions. It blends easily digested protein, complex carbs, and electrolytes in a low-smell, sippable format to help combat fatigue without overwhelming your stomach.
Ingredients
- 120 g cooked and cooled quinoa — cooked plain, cooled
- 40 g unflavored or mild vanilla whey or plant protein powder — ready to use
- 120 g firm silken tofu — drained
- 350 ml unsweetened soy milk — chilled
- 8 g white miso paste — ready to use
- 2 g matcha powder — sifted if clumpy
- 20 g baby spinach — rinsed optional
- 120 g ice cubes — optional, for colder texture optional
Instructions
- Add the cooked and cooled quinoa, protein powder, silken tofu, soy milk, white miso paste, and matcha powder to a blender jug.
- If using, add the baby spinach and ice cubes on top of the other ingredients.
- Blend on low speed for 20–30 seconds to combine gently, then increase to high and blend until completely smooth and creamy, 30–60 seconds more.
- Taste and, if the savory flavor is too strong, add a small splash of extra soy milk and blend again to dilute slightly.
- Pour into 2 small glasses. Sip slowly, taking breaks as needed to avoid overfilling your stomach while on GLP-1 medication.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your stomach is very sensitive, start with half a serving and sip over 20–30 minutes to give your body time to handle the protein and quinoa.
Prepare and chill the quinoa in advance; using it cold keeps the smoothie mild in aroma, which can be easier if you’re experiencing nausea alongside fatigue.
For extra calories when fatigue is severe and appetite is low, you can blend in 5–10 g of olive oil; the flavor stays subtle but adds energy-dense fats.
