Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 small banana broken into chunks
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup coconut milk chilled
  • ⅓ cup apple juice
  • 1 oz vanilla protein powder plant-based protein powder for vegan

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut milk, apple juice, banana, match powder and protein powder into a blender.
  • Begin blending at a low speed to prevent the ingredients from splattering. Gradually increase to a high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  • Check the consistency of your smoothie. If it’s too thick, add a bit more apple juice and blend again until you reach your desired thickness.
  • Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Different Protein Powders: There are various types of protein powders in the market like whey, casein, pea protein, etc. Each type has its own set of benefits. If you’re using this as a post workout drink use whey or pea protein and for a slow releasing protein smoothie use casein. Casein is great to use in the morning or before bed.
Temperature Tips: For a chilled shake, use frozen banana slices or add a few ice cubes to the blender. This makes the shake especially refreshing, perfect for warmer days.
