Why We Love This Matcha Smoothie
- If you’re a green tea lover, especially of mint green tea, this is just another delicious way to enjoy that flavour!
- This is a dairy-free smoothie.
- It’s made with just 6 ingredients.
- It can be enjoyed in minutes.
What Is Matcha Anyway?
Matcha is green tea powder. It has a serious green tea taste and a little goes a long way.
And, if you’re using matcha (like I did here in a smoothie), it will give things a pretty green hue.
How To Make It
Like pretty much all smoothies, this yummy green smoothie is super easy to prepare!
Simply combine all your ingredients in a blender, and blend until combined and smooth.
The green tea powder and mint gives this green smoothie such as pretty hue!
Tips and Variations
- Use frozen pineapple chunks and banana here as it helps create a creamier consistency.
- If you don’t need this smoothie to be vegan, you can use regular dairy milk.
- Garnish is totally optional, but fun. I garnished with some coconut and mint, but other options are flax seeds and chia seeds.

My husband recently got me a Bullet smoothie blender and as a result, I’m all about fun smoothies right now. I used to get a delicious matcha mint latte, and this reminds me of it, only is cold form. Will give it a go for sure. 🙂 ~Valentina

What a great idea to use matcha for a green smoothie! Laura loves matcha, so we usually have some around…but I’ve never made a smoothie with it. I’ll be stealing a bit of her stash here soon. This is perfect for spring (and St. Patrick’s Day)!
