Description

A vibrant, nutrient-packed shake combining the natural caffeine and antioxidants of ceremonial-grade matcha with muscle-supporting protein powder. Creamy almond milk, banana, and almond butter round out the flavor, while optional spinach adds an extra boost of greens. Perfect for morning energy, pre- or post-workout fuel, or a midday pick-me-up—this quick 5-minute shake delivers sustained focus, metabolism support, and lasting satiety.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk/coconut water)

  • 1 scoop (≈20 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder

  • 1 tsp high-quality matcha powder

  • ½ frozen banana

  • 1 tbsp almond (or peanut) butter

  • Handful of fresh spinach (optional)

  • Ice cubes, as desired

  • Natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or 1–2 dates), to taste


Instructions

  • Start with liquid: Pour almond milk into your blender.

  • Add powders: Scoop in protein powder and matcha; blend briefly to break up clumps.

  • Layer add-ins: Add frozen banana, almond butter, spinach (if using) and ice.

  • Blend: Process on high for 30–45 seconds until creamy and smooth.

  • Adjust & serve: Taste and add sweetener if needed; blend again, then pour into a glass. Enjoy cold!

Notes

Sift matcha to avoid clumps.

Start with minimal sweetener (½ banana or 1 date).

Swap liquids: oat milk for creaminess, coconut water for electrolytes.

Use unflavored or vanilla protein.

Add spinach for extra greens.

Blend fresh; if stored, shake well before drinking.
