Ingredients

1 cup spinach
½ frozen banana or more ice if you don’t like banana
½ cup 0% greek yogurt
1 teaspoon maple syrup 1-3 teaspoon depending on your preference
1 scoop vanilla protein powder I use whey
1½ teaspoon matcha tea powder use the highest grade available
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ice cubes
¼ cup water add more if needed

Instructions

Add all ingredients to the bucket of a high powered blender. Blend for 30-60 seconds until smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

I like to use whey protein, but plant based will work too.
Use the highest quality matcha that you can find. I use Uji matcha from a local Japanese shop, which is one of the highest grades. Barista-labelled matcha or ceremonial matcha are best.
My favorite high powered blenders are the ZWILLING ENFINIGY power blender, and the Vitamix E310.
Additional nutrition: Add collagen powder, chia seeds, flax, or any other nutritional supplements to bulk up this smoothie.
Leftover smoothie? Pour into ice cube trays and freeze into smoothie cubes! Blend the frozen cubes with a little milk for a new smoothie another day.
