Ingredients
  

Ice and Liquid Base

  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt or dairy free

Greens

  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup baby kale

Preparation

  • Layer the Ingredients – To a blender, add ice cubes, almond milk, yogurt, spinach, kale, banana, almonds, matcha powder, and sweetener.
  • Cover and Blend – Cover and process on medium speed for about 30 seconds, using the tamper as needed. Increase to high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until thick and smooth. Adjust with more almond milk or ice to reach the desired consistency. Add more sweetener to taste.

Notes

Milk Options: Unsweetened cashew, soy, rice, coconut, or dairy milk can be used instead of almond milk. Add Protein: For an extra protein boost, add protein powder. I usually use 1 scoop to 8 ounces of liquid. Alternatively, add a tablespoon of nut butter.
