Description
A delicious and healthy drink combining the creamy sweetness of ripe bananas with the earthy flavor of matcha green tea.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Start by gathering your ingredients. Make sure your banana is ripe; this means it should have a few brown spots for natural sweetness.
- Combine in the blender: Place the ripe banana, milk, matcha powder, and optional protein powder into a blender.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender’s power, this may take 30 seconds to a minute.
- Serve immediately: Once blended, pour the smoothie into a glass. You can enjoy it as is, or you may choose to add a topping of your choice, like chia seeds or sliced bananas.
- Savor the flavor: Take a moment to enjoy the rich green color of your smoothie before you take the first sip!
Notes
For serving, use a tall glass to show off the vibrant green color. Garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or banana slices if desired.
