Ultimate Matcha Smoothie Recipe: The Perfect Energizing Green Drink
A creamy smoothie with matcha, coconut milk, banana, and mango, best way to start your day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup light coconut milk for a creamy base without being too heavy
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder increase to 2 teaspoons for a stronger flavor
- 1 large handful baby spinach
- ½ cup frozen mango chunks adds natural sweetness and a tropical hint
- 1 frozen banana provides creaminess and natural sweetness
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt optional, for added protein and extra creaminess
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness
Instructions
- Blend Base Ingredients: Add the coconut milk, matcha powder, and spinach to a blender. Blend until smooth, ensuring the spinach is well incorporated.
- Add Frozen Fruits: Add the frozen banana, mango, and Greek yogurt (if using). Blend again until the smoothie is thick, creamy, and fully mixed.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if you’d like extra sweetness. Blend briefly to incorporate.
- Adjust Thickness: For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend. If you prefer a thinner texture, add a bit more coconut milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Notes
- Customize It: Try adding a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or a pinch of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Re-blend or stir with a few ice cubes to refresh before drinking.
