Matcha Ginger Power Smoothie
Ingredients
- •2 medium Frozen Banana
- •2 cups (packed) Fresh Spinach
- •2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
- •2 teaspoons Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
- •1.5 inch piece Fresh Ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- •2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey (optional, to taste)
- •0.5 cup Ice Cubes (optional, for extra chill)
Instructions
- 1.
Ensure bananas are peeled and frozen for best results. Peel the fresh ginger and roughly chop it into smaller pieces to aid blending.
- 2.
Combine the frozen bananas, fresh spinach, unsweetened almond milk, matcha powder, and chopped ginger into a high-speed blender.
- 3.
If using, add the maple syrup or honey for sweetness and the ice cubes for extra chill and thickness.
- 4.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if necessary to ensure everything is incorporated.
- 5.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or consistency as desired. Add more milk for a thinner smoothie, or more frozen banana/ice for a thicker one.
- 6.
Pour the Matcha Ginger Power Smoothie into four glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a thin slice of ginger or a light sprinkle of matcha powder, if desired.
Tips
- 💡For the best texture and chill, always use frozen bananas. You can peel and freeze ripe bananas in advance.
- 💡Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your preference; start with 1.5 teaspoons for a milder flavor and increase for a stronger matcha kick.
- 💡Fresh ginger provides a wonderful zing and digestive benefits. For a milder ginger flavor, use a smaller piece.
- 💡If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey. Dates can also be used as a natural sweetener.
- 💡For an added protein boost, consider adding a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder. For extra fiber and healthy fats, a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flax seeds can be incorporated.
