Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 small kale leaf
- 1 cup milk of choice (I use almond, soy or oat milk)
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (optional, see note)
Optional add-in
- 1 scoop protein powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high power until completely smooth (about 30-40 seconds).
- Pour into a glass and optionally top with any of the following: matcha powder, banana slices, hemp seeds or shredded coconut.
Notes
Sweetener - Because of the slightly bitter taste of matcha, you may want to add up to 1 teaspoon of sweetener of choice, depending on your taste buds. I like using maple syrup.
Matcha powder - Use a high quality powder that's bright green in colour for superior taste and nutrients. I suggest buying from a local tea store.
Use frozen bananas and kale - Not only will this give your smoothie a creamy texture, but it will save time if your banana and kale are pre-chopped.
