Looking for a delightful and energizing way to incorporate matcha into your daily routine? This Healthy Matcha Green Tea Smoothie is not only rich in antioxidants but also a delicious treat that will keep you feeling revitalized. Packed with nutrient-rich ingredients, it's the perfect balance of flavor and health.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• 1 frozen banana (sliced)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A handful of spinach leaves (optional for added nutrition)
• Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions:

1. 1. Prepare the Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha green tea powder with a small amount of hot water (not boiling) until smooth. This helps dissolve the matcha powder and prevents any clumps from forming. Set it aside to cool.
   
   
2. 2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the frozen banana slices, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the prepared matcha mixture. If you're adding spinach, toss it in as well.
3. 
   3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more almond milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

5. 4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. Keep in mind that the sweetness of the banana also contributes to the overall flavor.

7. 5. Add Ice and Blend Again: If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until the ice is fully incorporated.

9. 6. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the matcha green tea smoothie into a glass and savor its refreshing flavor. You can also top it with a sprinkle of matcha powder or some chia seeds for an added nutritional boost.
