This is a very Taiwanese ( or Asian flavour). I had never had sweet Green Mung ever in my life as we would load it with spices in vegetables back in India and eat it for breakfast or lunch. But out here green mung is mixed with sugar and various recipes like soups and desserts are made. It took me a while to adopt the sweet mung flavour but now I love it.
This smoothie is healthy and plenty for my breakfast or light lunch. Mung is fat free and low in carbs but packed with proteins so its all good news.
