Strawberry Matcha Banana Smoothie (Printer-Friendly)

Chilled blend of strawberries, banana, matcha, and creamy yogurt for a refreshing, naturally sweet morning boost.

# What You’ll Need to Cook:

01 - 2 cups frozen strawberries
02 - 1 cup milk
03 - 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon matcha powder
05 - 1 banana
06 - 120 grams Greek yogurt

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Slice banana into chunks for optimal blending.
02 - Layer frozen strawberries, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, matcha powder, maple syrup, and milk into the high-speed blender.
03 - Secure blender lid. Begin on low speed to break down frozen fruit, then gradually increase to high, blending for 1–2 minutes until fully smooth and creamy.
04 - If mixture is too thick, add additional milk and blend to combine. To thicken, add more frozen strawberries or banana and blend again.
05 - Sample mixture and add more maple syrup if desired, blending briefly to incorporate.
06 - Pour smoothie into glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dusting of matcha powder if desired.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - Using frozen strawberries ensures a thick, chilled consistency without the need for ice cubes.
02 - Adjust sweetness gradually, as fruit ripeness impacts overall flavor.
