Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (preferably culinary or latte grade)
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen for best texture
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • 1/2–1 cup ice, depending on how thick you like it
  • Optional boosters: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or hemp seeds, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon almond butter, or a handful of spinach

Method
 

  1. Prep your matcha: If your matcha is clumpy, sift it through a fine-mesh sieve. This helps it blend smoothly and prevents bitter pockets.
  2. Add liquids first: Pour the milk into your blender. Liquids at the bottom help the blades catch everything quickly.
  3. Load the rest: Add the banana, yogurt, matcha powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and a small pinch of salt. Toss in your ice and any boosters you like.
  4. Blend until silky: Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds, or until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a bit more ice or a few extra banana slices.
  5. Taste and adjust: Too grassy? Add a touch more sweetener or vanilla. Want more matcha flavor? Sprinkle in an extra 1/4 teaspoon and blend again.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away for the best texture and color.
