Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 2,5 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup fresh baby spinach tightly packed
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon matcha powder
  • ice cubes optional

Instructions

  • First, pour plant milk into your blender.
  • Then add the rest of the ingredients, starting with lighter ingredients first. Add heavier ingredients last. 
  • Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth.

Notes

  • Both cups and grams measurements are available - make sure to click on either US Cups or Metric under the ingredients list depending on what you're using. 
  • 1 scoop of protein powder usually equals approx. ⅛ cup.
  • Tip 1: Some protein powder can become clumpy. To avoid that, simply sift it into your blender.
  • Tip 2: To make it thicker, add less milk or more banana. Using frozen instead of room temperature bananas will also help make it thicker. 
  • Tip 3: Avoid drinking in the evenings as matcha contains a lot of caffeine. 
  • Tip 4: If you don't have vanilla protein powder, use whatever you have on hand and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
