🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients ready. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable. Consider laying them out on your countertop for easy access.
- Prepare the matcha: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of warm water until smooth. This helps to eliminate any clumps and ensures that the matcha mixes evenly into the smoothie. A small milk frother works wonders here!
- Add the base: In a blender, combine 1 frozen banana (or alternative fruit), 1/2 cup of spinach (or other leafy green), and 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy). The frozen banana adds creaminess and sweetness, while the spinach provides a boost of nutrients without overpowering the flavor.
- Pour in the matcha mixture: Add the prepared matcha mixture to the blender. The vibrant green color will instantly transform your smoothie!
- Add any desired additions: Now it's time to get creative! Add any additional ingredients you desire, such as 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 scoop of protein powder, a drizzle of honey, or a few ice cubes for extra chill.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend until all the ingredients are completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid (milk or water) until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more frozen fruits or ice.
- Taste and adjust: Give the smoothie a taste and adjust the sweetness or flavor as needed. If it needs more sweetness, add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or stevia. If it needs more matcha flavor, add a pinch more matcha powder.
- Pour and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of matcha powder, a few berries, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of elegance. Sipping immediately makes sure it stays nice and cold, perfect for a summer day.
- Clean up: Don't let your blender sit dirty for too long! Rinse it out with water as soon as you're done to prevent any residue from sticking.
📝 Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use more frozen fruit or ice.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your liking.
- Feel free to substitute spinach with kale or other leafy greens.
- Experiment with different fruits, such as mangoes, berries, or peaches.
