One Ingredient Took This Matcha Smoothie to Another Level

This is the lean, mean, green smoothie machine, and trust me, on those chaotic mornings when I need caffeine and breakfast all in one (aka every morning), you’ll catch me blending up this Avocado Matcha Smoothie faster than you can say “where’s my coffee?”

The secret ingredient?

Avocado.

Just one ingredient transforms an ordinary matcha smoothie into something unbelievably velvety. No ice or heavy cream needed.

I love this recipe because it's so quick and easy to make. It's hydrating, brilliantly emerald green and has just the right amount of caffeine to get my day started on the right track.

Never throw away overripe bananas or avocados that are imperfect. Instead, simply prep them for smoothies!

Freeze avocado and banana ahead of time 

1. Slice the fruit into small chunks.
2. Arrange the pieces on a parchment lined tray.
3. Cover the tray and freeze overnight.
4. Once frozen, transfer the fruit into zip lock freezer bags, squeezing out excess air.
   

I love to use frozen fruit for this recipe over fresh fruit because it gives the smoothie an added creamy texture. You won't need to use any ice or heavy creams to get that velvety consistency. 

Avocado Matcha Smoothie Recipe Ingredients:

• Green matcha powder 

• Frozen avocado

• Frozen banana

• Coconut milk ( or any milk on hand)

• Lime juice

• Agave or honey (optional + If your matcha is already pre sweetened, you can skip this step)

• Coconut cream (optional)

Matcha Smoothie Directions:

1. Toss the coconut milk, matcha powder, frozen avocado, frozen banana, and a few drops of fresh lime into a blender.

2. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy.

3. Give it a taste. If you’d like it sweeter, add a little agave or honey and blend again.

4. Pour it into a glass, sip, and enjoy 

5. Bonus: Add coconut cream on top. This is an optional step, but I love how whipping up some coconut cream can give your smoothie such an elevated vibe. 

Whether you're sipping this Avocado Matcha Smoothie on the go or pairing it with a light breakfast, it's a great staple for any morning routine.
