- 1/2 cup milk (2%)
- 1 medium banana, frozen
Flavoring
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, milk, matcha powder, and frozen banana to your blender following your blender manufacturer’s recommended order for best blending performance.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until the banana is completely smooth and no lumps of matcha remain, approximately 1 minute. Use the smoothie setting if your blender has one to achieve optimal texture.

Notes
- For a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup before blending.
- Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version but note this will affect the texture and flavor.
- Ensure the banana is fully frozen for a thick and chilled smoothie consistency.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder based on your taste preference for a stronger or milder green tea flavor.
