Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
- ½ cup ice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure the banana is frozen. Measure out matcha, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup if using.
- Load the Blender: Pour almond milk into the blender first, then add the frozen banana, matcha powder, vanilla extract, sweetener if desired, and ice for a thicker texture.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or enhance the matcha flavor by adding a bit more powder if preferred.
- Serve: Pour the finished smoothie into a chilled glass or jar. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or chia seeds for added texture and visuals.
Notes
- Use a ripe frozen banana for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Adjust the maple syrup amount based on preferred sweetness or omit for a sugar-free option.
- Substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk like oat, soy, or coconut milk according to taste and dietary preference.
- The ice is optional; adding it thickens the smoothie but dilutes the flavor slightly.
- For a boost of protein, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
