Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder sifted to remove clumps
- 2 tbsp chia seeds black or white seeds work well
- 1.5 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice
- 1 frozen banana banana peeled and sliced before freezing for creaminess
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract pure extract for best flavor
- 1 cup baby spinach tightly packed for extra nutrients
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for a thicker, frostier texture
Notes
For the best texture, drink immediately as the chia seeds will continue to thicken the smoothie over time. To make ahead, blend everything except the ice and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking. If the smoothie becomes too thick, add a splash of almond milk. You can substitute the honey with 1-2 pitted medjool dates for a whole-food sweetener.
