Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
  • 1 piece banana (frozen or fresh) Use frozen for a creamier texture.
  • 1 cup spinach (optional) For added nutrients.
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice) Coconut, soy, or oat milk can be used as substitutes.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness) Stevia or agave syrup can be used as alternatives.
  • cubes Ice cubes (optional) For a thinner consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients. If using frozen banana, take it out of the freezer a few minutes before blending.
Blending
  1. In a blender, combine matcha powder, banana, spinach (if using), almond milk, and honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
Adjusting Consistency
  1. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk and blend again.
  2. For a colder smoothie, add ice cubes and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if desired, or a pinch of matcha for a stronger flavor. Blend again if adjustments are made.
Serving
  1. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy fresh. Garnish with a sprinkle of matcha or granola, if desired.

Notes

Whisking matcha with a bit of liquid before blending helps to avoid clumps. Use ripe bananas and fresh ingredients for the best taste. For creaminess, consider using frozen bananas or yogurt.
