Description
This nutrient-dense smoothie offers a sophisticated balance of ceremonial grade matcha and creamy avocado, providing sustained energy without the mid-morning crash. The slow-digesting healthy fats from the avocado blend with frozen bananas and Greek yogurt for a velvety, café-style texture. With a boost of fresh spinach for added micronutrients and a touch of vanilla for sweetness, this vibrant green drink serves as a perfect, satisfying breakfast to power your day.
Ingredients
1 cup almond or oat milk
1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
1/2 medium avocado, pitted
1 large frozen banana, sliced
3/4 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by removing the avocado pit and breaking the frozen banana into chunks.
Add the milk, avocado, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, spinach, matcha powder, and vanilla extract into the blender container.
Secure the lid firmly.
Start the blender on the lowest speed to break down the frozen fruit.
Increase the speed to high and process until completely smooth and creamy.
Notes
For best results, use a high-speed blender to ensure the spinach and fibrous banana are fully incorporated. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add an extra splash of milk. Use a frozen banana that is ripe before freezing to maximize natural sweetness.
