Ingredients
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1 banana
- ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk (or any other plant-based milk of your choice)
- ½ cup (120 ml) coconut water (or plain water)
- 1 handful of spinach
- ½ avocado (for a creamy texture)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Method
- Prepare the matcha: Dissolve the matcha powder in a splash of warm water (about 2 tablespoons) and whisk well to prevent any lumps.
- Combine: Place the banana, avocado, spinach, chia seeds, almond milk, coconut water, and honey/agave syrup (if using) into a blender. Add the dissolved matcha liquid.
- Blend: Blitz all the ingredients until you have a smooth and creamy smoothie. If you prefer it chilled, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with an extra sprinkle of chia seeds or a few slices of banana if you fancy.
Variations
- Fruity Twist: Stir in some berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, for a fruitier flavour.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favourite protein powder for an extra nutritional kick.
