This Coconut Vanilla Matcha Smoothie is an awesome way to get your daily dose of zenergy and antioxidants. So wonderfully light, refreshing, and energizing!
I have a small confession to make: I've never been a fan of coconut. But I really want to be, so I keep trying.
I've heard that matcha and coconut is a lovely combination, and given my deep love of matcha, I knew I had to give it a try.
Ingredients for Coconut Matcha Smoothie
- Canned coconut milk (I use light)
- Banana (frozen if desired)
- Pineapple (fresh or frozen)
- Organic matcha powder
- Vanilla extract
- Pure maple syrup
- Ice cubes
I can honestly say it was the first time I ever enjoyed coconut! Turns out all it needed was a little matcha magic. I usually think coconut overpowers everything but it doesn't here for me at all.
Plus it's such a light, refreshing smoothie with a wonderful balance of flavors. Such a great way to change up my matcha routine!

Thanks for sharing! Does it have to be the canned milk?
Kaitlin McGinn
Hi Vanessa! Canned coconut milk is a lot richer and creamier than the carton coconut milk (which seems to be a lot more diluted/watered down.) Both will certainly work but the canned will result in a thicker, creamier smoothie if that's what you desire 🙂 Hope you enjoy! Have a beautiful week! -Kaitlin
