Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon culinary-grade matcha powder (sifted if clumpy)
  • 1 frozen banana (sliced for easier blending)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (lightly packed)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for a soft round flavor)
  • 4–6 ice cubes (for a thicker, colder smoothie)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances sweetness)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the matcha: If your matcha is clumpy, sift it through a small mesh strainer. This helps it blend smoothly and prevents bitter pockets.
  • Layer the blender: Add almond milk first, then yogurt, banana, spinach, matcha, vanilla, and salt. Top with ice. Liquids at the bottom help the blades catch.
  • Blend on low, then high: Start on low speed for 10–15 seconds, then increase to high and blend until silky, about 30–45 seconds.
  • Taste and adjust: Add honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter, or a splash more milk if it’s too thick. Blend again for a few seconds.
  • Serve cold: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away for the brightest flavor and color.
