GREEN SQUARES, GREEN TEA

Josef Albers in America: Painting on Paper, at the Morgan Library—a small but outstanding collection of color studies for his Homage to the Square paintings. On the way home, Cafe Zaiya—a bustling Japanese fast food place—for their green tea frappe—a thick, sweet icy concoction that's also, well, very very, green. A shot below of the frappe at Zaiya, another with a page (a study in green) from the Albers catalog, and one of the green tea protein shakes I make at home (with simple directions).

Homemade Green Tea Protein Shake.

GREEN TEA PROTEIN SHAKE
  • 1 tsp Matcha 
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder (I use Biochem vanilla whey)
  • 1 cup soy milk (or other liquid)
  • Opt. half banana (frozen)
  • Agave syrup to taste (or other sweetener) 

Crush 4 ice cubes in blender. Add ingredients—liquid last. Blend until foamy.
