Banana Yoghurt Smoothie with Matcha
Creamy and mild, sweet banana with a light yoghurt tang and a gentle green tea note.
Matcha and dairy are a popular pairing, as the creaminess softens the slightly bitter notes of the green tea powder. Banana and pear bring enough sweetness that you rarely need to add any. Keep in mind that matcha contains caffeine, so this is a morning smoothie rather than an evening one.
With yoghurt and milk it is filling enough for a light breakfast. For a plant based version, simply use soy yoghurt and soy milk.
Yes, matcha contains caffeine, about as much as a cup of green tea at this amount.
Not with dairy. With soy yoghurt and soy milk it is fully plant based.
Yes, it keeps in the fridge for up to a day. Shake well before drinking.
