Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
• 1 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Instructions

1. In a blender, pour the unsweetened almond milk and add the matcha green tea powder. Blend for a few seconds to fully dissolve the matcha.
2. Add the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract into the blender.
3. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
4. Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors. Each sip offers the creamy texture of almond milk combined with the distinctive, earthy taste of matcha.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use any plain yogurt or a dairy-free alternative.
• For an added boost, throw in a handful of spinach leaves or a scoop of protein powder.
• For a special touch, top the smoothie with chia seeds, a sprinkle of matcha powder, or sliivered almonds.

Storage and Substitutions

Leftover smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, as the ingredients may separate.

If you are out of almond milk, oat milk or any other plant-based milk works wonderfully. Agave syrup can replace honey or maple syrup for sweetening.

Pairings and Complements

This Matcha Almond Smoothie pairs well with light breakfast options such as a slice of whole grain toast topped with avocado, a fresh fruit salad, or a crunchy granola bar. It’s also fantastic with almond or lemon-flavored biscotti for a morning treat.
