Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup unsweetened oat milk chilled
- 1.5 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
- 2 medium bananas frozen, sliced
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or to taste
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. If you must store it, pour into an airtight jar or bottle, leaving minimal air space, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Shake well before drinking. Make-Ahead: Pre-slice and freeze bananas in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Pre-measure the matcha and dry ingredients. Variations: For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored plant-based protein powder. Substitute oat milk with almond or soy milk. Add a handful of spinach for hidden greens without altering the flavor significantly. Top with a sprinkle of matcha powder, coconut flakes, or extra chia seeds before serving.
