Ingredients:
4 oz. light vanilla soymilk
1 oz. Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup

2 tsp. Coffee-mate Sugar Free French Vanilla powdered creamer
1 heaping tsp. matcha green tea powder (found in tea shops, at select markets, and online -- go here for a good one! - http://www.teavana.com/The-Teas/Green-Teas/Matcha-Green-Tea.axd )
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda)
1 1/2 cups crushed ice

2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip 



Directions:
Combine matcha green tea powder and powdered creamer with 2 oz. of warm water, and stir until powders have completely dissolved. Place this mixture in a blender, along with the soymilk, syrup, sweetener, and ice. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds. Pour into a glass, and top with the Reddi-wip. Enjoy! MAKES 1 SERVING

    WOW. Amazing. Has anyone found the green tea powder out and about in the "real world?" Wondering if they have it at Whole Foods or maybe Trader Joe's..?

    I can find it at the local Japanese market. You stand a good chance of finding it at other types of Asian markets as well, though (Chinese, Korean, etc).
