Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 frozen banana
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup spinach (optional, for an added nutrition boost)
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, or honey or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients including matcha powder, almond milk, frozen banana, and any optional add-ins like spinach and hemp seeds.
- Load Blender: Add the almond milk, frozen banana, spinach, and hemp seeds into the blender first. Then, add the matcha powder last to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Sweetness and Consistency: Taste your smoothie. If it’s not sweet enough, add maple syrup or your preferred sweetener and blend again. If it’s too thick, add more milk and blend to desired consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour your vibrant green matcha smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a frozen banana to add natural sweetness and a creamy texture without the need for ice.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on the sweetness of your fruit and personal preference.
- Spinach and hemp seeds are optional but add beneficial nutrients and fiber.
- Drink immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and the maximum antioxidant benefits from the matcha.
