Ingredients for Coconut Matcha Smoothie
For this recipe, you'll blend in a blender:
- Canned coconut milk: I use light, but use your own favorite.
- Ripe banana: The more brown spots, the sweeter it will be. You can use either fresh or frozen. Frozen banana will help provide a creamier texture.
- Pineapple: You can either use fresh, frozen, or canned.
- Organic matcha powder: Be sure to find a good quality matcha powder that is a bright green color. You can use ceremonial grade, latte grade, or even culinary grade matcha with this recipe.
- Vanilla extract
- Pure maple syrup: I love this as a natural sweetener, but feel free to substitute your own favorite sweetener of choice. Agave nectar or a date would work great too.
- Ice cubes

Caffeine note: Just a friendly reminder that matcha green tea powder contains caffeine. To reduce the amount, you could halve the matcha powder from 2 teaspoons to 1 teaspoon (or less) if desired.

Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Does it have to be the canned milk?
Kaitlin says
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!
