I have been looking for a great recipe for a Matcha green tea smoothie, and I think I found it! This delicious smoothie is really great if you can find the vanilla syrup, but it also goes well with any of those syrups that they sell for flavoring coffees (such as the ones you see at Starbucks).

A Matcha smoothie gives you a healthy dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and L-theanine and is very tasty too! I like to try and drink Matcha every day, so it’s nice to mix it up with different recipes, and it’s fun to share with friends!

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• 2 ounces hot water (but not boiling)
• 3 teaspoons sugar (or artificial sweetener)
• 4 ounces milk
• 8 ice cubes
• 1 teaspoon vanilla syrup (optional)

Directions

1. Mix 1/2 tsp green tea powder in 2 ounces of hot water in a bowl. Stir with a whisk until completely dissolved.
2. Stir in 3 teaspoons of sugar or sugar substitute (can adjust to taste).
3. Add in 4 ounces of milk and stir.
4. (Optional) Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup, such as Torani or DaVinci brands.
5. Add ice cubes and blend in a blender until smooth.
6. Enjoy!

Note: You could also drink this as a Matcha Green Tea Iced Latte by just pouring the mixture over ice instead of blending. You can buy a really great kit that comes with a frothing glass, whisk, bodum press, and 100g of Matcha Green Tea by clicking here.
