Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup green tea (strongly brewed)
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon matcha powder (optional, for extra green tea flavor)
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Brew 1 cup of green tea and let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for faster preparation.
Peel and slice the frozen banana into smaller chunks to make blending easier.
Add the cooled green tea, frozen banana, baby spinach, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and matcha powder (if using) to a high-speed blender.
Toss in the ice cubes for a thicker, frosty consistency.
Blend everything on high for about 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or a few spinach leaves (optional), and serve immediately.
