Ingredients

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

1 banana, frozen

1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)

1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure your banana is frozen for a creamier texture. If using fresh spinach, wash and dry it thoroughly.

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, frozen banana, matcha powder, protein powder, almond butter, chia seeds, and spinach.

Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy.

Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add more almond milk until you achieve your desired consistency. For a thicker texture, blend in a few ice cubes.

Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (note: it’s best fresh!). Optionally, sprinkle some extra chia seeds or a dusting of matcha on top for visual appeal.
