Ingredients
  

1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

1 ripe banana, frozen

1 cup fresh or frozen spinach leaves

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (choose plant-based or whey as per preference)

1 tablespoon almond butter (or substitute with any nut butter of choice)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (or flax seeds, depending on availability)

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for added sweetness

A few ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: If you haven’t frozen your banana yet, peel it, slice it into chunks, and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour prior to making your smoothie. Gather all ingredients and lay them out on your countertop for convenience.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In your blender, start by adding the matcha green tea powder, chia seeds, and protein powder. Blend these dry ingredients on a low speed for a few seconds until thoroughly combined, ensuring the matcha is evenly mixed.

      Add Greens and Liquid: Now, add the spinach leaves into the blender, followed by the almond milk. This combination will help facilitate blending by creating a liquid base around the dry ingredients.

        Incorporate Banana and Nut Butter: Next, throw in the frozen banana and almond butter. If you prefer a sweeter flavor profile, this is the moment to stir in honey or maple syrup.

          Blend until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until the mixture achieves a velvety smooth and creamy consistency. If you enjoy a thicker smoothie, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again until fully incorporated.

            Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you desire more sweetness or matcha flavor, carefully add more, then blend a bit longer to integrate any additional ingredients.

              Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a large glass or divide it between two smaller glasses for sharing. For an appealing touch, consider garnishing with a light sprinkle of matcha powder, a few chia seeds, or a decorative slice of banana on the rim of the glass.
