Vanilla Matcha Smoothie
Servings: 1
This is the creamiest matcha smoothie you'll ever make — and whole cashews are the secret. They blend with frozen banana into a silky, milkshake-thick sip, while vanilla warms up matcha's earthy green tea flavor and a hint of fresh ginger adds a gentle zing. Naturally sweet, gently energizing, and ready in five minutes flat.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon raw cashews
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 1 teaspoon matcha or more, if desired
- 1 banana frozen
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ginger root optional
Instructions
- Add cashews, 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.
- Soak cashews for 20 minutes to soften if using a low-powered blender.
- Use at least 1 frozen fruit for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
- Boost with a serving of homemade protein powder to add 10 grams of protein.
