¾
cup

1
tsp

or more, if desired
1
banana
frozen
1
tsp
vanilla extract
optional
¼
tsp
ginger root
optional
1
scoop
homemade protein powder
Instructions
Soak
cashews in coconut water for 20 minutes to soften. You can skip this if in a hurry, yet it will be creamier if you soak.
Add
cashews with water to blender.
Add
cashew milk, matcha, frozen banana, ginger and vanilla to blender.
Blend
until smooth and creamy.
Notes
If you prefer a sweeter matcha, add 2 pitted Medjool dates to the blender.

dairy-free milk
of your choice.
Use at least 1 frozen fruit for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
