Banana Matcha Smoothie
The Banana Matcha Smoothie combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the vibrant, earthy flavor of matcha, creating a delicious and nutritious drink perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 medium frozen banana
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, milk, matcha powder, optional sweetener, and frozen banana to the blender, following the order recommended by the manufacturer.
- Blend the smoothie for about 1 minute, or until the banana is fully smooth and there are no lumps of matcha. Use the smoothie button if available.
- If desired, garnish with banana slices and a sprinkle of matcha powder on top.
Notes
If you don’t have a frozen banana, use a ripe banana and add a few ice cubes. Be sure to use a ripe banana, as green ones are too bitter.
To make smoothies later, freeze overripe bananas. For easier blending, slice the bananas into one-inch chunks before freezing.
If you want to adjust the smoothie’s consistency, add more milk to thin it, or use more yogurt or higher-fat Greek yogurt to make it thicker.
For optimal blending, follow your blender’s recommended order for adding ingredients. For my Ninja personal blender, I add soft and liquid ingredients first, followed by powders and then solids.
For the best smoothie experience, drink immediately.
