Why We Love This Matcha Smoothie

- This is a dairy-free smoothie.
- It’s made with just 6 ingredients.

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. Refer to the recipe card below for full details.
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 matcha smoothie to be vegan, you can use regular dairy milk.
- Garnish is totally optional, but fun. I garnished with some coconut and mint, but flax seeds is another great option.

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
