Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• 1 banana (ripe and sweet)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by adding the banana, matcha green tea powder, almond milk, vanilla yogurt, honey, and ice cubes into a blender. The ripe banana will bring a natural sweetness and creamy texture to your smoothie.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if needed.
3. Add the vanilla extract to the mix and blend for another 10 seconds. Note how the aroma of vanilla mingles with the earthy scent of matcha, creating a delightful olfactory experience.
4. Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses, and for an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh mint leaves. Their refreshing essence will elevate every sip.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you’re out of honey, agave syrup or maple syrup works wonderfully as a sweetener.
• For a richer texture, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to the blend.
• On a hot day, serve this smoothie in a chilled glass to maximize its refreshing qualities.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving again.
• If matcha isn’t available, green tea powder can be a good substitute. For a nut-free option, oat milk can replace almond milk.

Pairings and Complements

• This smoothie pairs beautifully with a handful of mixed berries or a light, crunchy granola bar.
• For a more substantial family breakfast, serve alongside whole grain toast with avocado spread.
