Servings: 2 drinks
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries see note 1
- 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the frozen strawberries, almond milk, matcha powder, honey and vanilla to a high speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk. If not thick enough, add a few more ice cubes and blend.
- Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary. Blend briefly to mix any extra ingredients added at this stage.
- Pour into 2 short or 1 large glass and enjoy cold.
Notes
- I recommend using frozen strawberries so the smoothie is icy cold with a nice thick consistency. If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them and add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the blender.
- This recipe uses almond milk but you can use any milk of your choice.
