Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry the leaves.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks. This will help it blend more easily.
- In a blender, combine the washed spinach, banana chunks, and almond milk. The almond milk serves as the liquid base, making the smoothie creamy.
- Add the matcha powder to the blender. Matcha is a finely ground green tea that adds a vibrant color and a boost of antioxidants to your smoothie.
- Drizzle in the honey for sweetness. You can adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
- Finally, add the chia seeds. These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients and will add a slight thickness to the smoothie.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary. You can add more honey or a splash of almond milk if it's too thick.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of banana on the rim for an appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Super Green Smoothie with Matcha Tea!
