Creamy and tart with bright raspberry, soft banana and a light grassy matcha finish.
About this smoothie
Matcha is powdered green tea, so it brings caffeine, a gentle bitterness and a grassy aroma. With raspberries, which are known for their fibre and fresh acidity, it creates a lively contrast. Natural yogurt adds tang and some protein, and half a banana provides sweetness and body.
The smoothie turns a dusky pink rather than green, because the berries dominate the colour. It is a good breakfast drink when you want a little caffeine without coffee.
Bartender tips
Strain the smoothie through a sieve if the raspberry seeds bother you.
Frozen raspberries give a colder and thicker result.
Variations
Without matcha
Leave out the matcha for a caffeine free raspberry yogurt smoothie.
