Energizing Matcha Smoothie
Description
Prepared by blending water or almond milk with frozen banana, avocado, frozen mango, fresh baby spinach, a small amount of peeled ginger, and matcha powder, this smoothie delivers creamy texture and vibrant flavor. The frozen fruits give it an ice-cream-like thickness, while the avocado adds richness. Matcha powder contributes a mild, grassy bitterness and antioxidants. Fresh ginger adds a subtle zing, complemented by the spinach’s mild greens.
The ingredients are simply combined in a high-speed blender and blended until smooth. Adjusting the liquid amount can change the thickness to personal preference. Honey or dates can be added for additional sweetness if desired, making it customizable for taste.
Leftover smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for about 24 hours or frozen into popsicles for later consumption. This flexibility makes it convenient for preparing ahead or enjoying as a refreshing snack anytime.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water (or almond milk)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 cup Mango frozen
- 1/2 inch ginger peeled (optional; add to taste, fresh
- 1 big handful spinach fresh baby
- 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth. Add more water, if needed to blend, and taste it before you serve. You can always add a squeeze of honey or a pitted date for more sweetness, if needed.
Notes
- Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 24 hours or freeze in popsicle molds for later.
- Using frozen fruit results in a thick, ice-cream-like texture; reduce liquid if using fresh fruit to avoid a runny consistency.
