Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana frozen for extra creaminess and natural sweetness
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk cashew, almond, or oat milk works best for a smooth texture
  • 1 tsp organic matcha powder choose bright green, high-quality matcha for the best flavor
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup or adjust to your preferred sweetness
  • 2-3 ice cubes for a chilled, refreshing drink

Method
 

  1. Peel the banana and ideally freeze it beforehand. Measure your non-dairy milk, matcha powder, and sweetener. This prep ensures smooth blending without lumps.
  2. Add banana, milk, matcha, maple syrup, and ice cubes to your blender. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
  3. Taste your smoothie and add more syrup if you like it sweeter. You can also add extra milk to thin it out if needed.
  4. Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass. Top with a sprinkle of matcha powder or sliced banana for a visually appealing touch.

Notes

  • I always use frozen bananas; it gives the smoothie a thicker, milkshake-like texture.
  • A small pinch of sea salt enhances the natural sweetness.
  • Using fresh, high-quality matcha powder makes the flavor vibrant instead of bitter.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid clumps of matcha powder at the bottom.
