Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach
- 1 frozen banana Note 1
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) coconut milk Note 2
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional, Note 3
Equipment
- 1 blender
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 60 seconds.
Notes
Note 1: Banana adds sweetness and creaminess. You can substitute 1 frozen pear or 1 cup of frozen peaches, but the smoothie won’t be sweet.
Note 2: For a thinner smoothie, use more coconut milk. For a thicker smoothie, use less coconut milk, or add more frozen banana.
Note 3: Use vegan, plant-based protein powder to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan!
Storing:
- Smoothies only take 5 minutes to make and they taste the best immediately, so I highly recommend enjoying them fresh.
- You can store a smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it will lose its frosty texture and possibly separate.
-You can also prepare your green smoothie completely and pour it into a “Souper Cube” freezing tray. To enjoy, let the cubes thaw completely. Or, add them to a blender with a little extra coconut milk.
