Matcha and strawberry is a favourite pairing in Japanese-inspired cafés, and it works just as well in a smoothie. Banana and almond milk make it creamy and naturally sweet.

Banana Strawberry Smoothie with Matcha
Creamy and fruity, sweet from banana and strawberry, with a soft, grassy matcha finish.
Matcha is finely ground Japanese green tea with a grassy, slightly bitter flavour and some caffeine. Sweet strawberries and a ripe banana balance its bitterness, and almond milk adds a light, nutty creaminess. The colours mix into an unusual muted tone, but the taste is harmonious: fruity first, then a gentle green tea finish.
Because of the caffeine, this smoothie is best in the morning or early afternoon. It makes a good dairy-free breakfast.
One teaspoon of matcha contains roughly as much caffeine as a cup of green tea or a little more.
