🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 tsp ceremonial matcha powder
✓ 1/2 cup silken tofu (firm or soft)
✓ 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 cup fresh baby spinach
✓ 8-10 fresh mint leaves
✓ 1/2 frozen banana
✓ 1 tbsp raw almond butter
✓ 1/2 cup ice cubes
✓ 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener (or to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Matcha Base: Heat water to 70-80°C (just before boiling). In a small bowl, add 1 tsp matcha and 2 tbsp hot water. Whisk vigorously using a matcha whisk or fork in an M-pattern until no lumps remain and a light green foam forms. Set aside to cool slightly (2 minutes).

2. Cube and Prep Silken Tofu: Drain silken tofu and cube into 1-inch pieces to blend smoothly. Pat gently with paper towel to remove excess moisture without breaking apart.

3. Tear Mint Leaves: Gently tear 8-10 fresh mint leaves by hand (tearing releases oils better than chopping). Reserve 2-3 leaves for garnish.

4. Layer Blender Base: Add silken tofu cubes, Greek yogurt, and almond milk to high-speed blender first. This allows wet ingredients to create a base for smooth blending of dry ingredients.

5. Add Leafy Greens & Mint: Layer fresh spinach and torn mint leaves over yogurt mixture. Adding leafy greens after wet ingredients prevents them from sticking to blender walls.

6. Add Remaining Ingredients: Top with frozen banana slices, almond butter, ice cubes, and monk fruit sweetener. This order ensures even distribution when blending.

7. Pour Matcha Blend: Carefully pour the prepared matcha mixture (now slightly cooled) into the blender over all ingredients. The cooled matcha preserves L-theanine and chlorophyll stability.

8. Blend on High: Pulse 5-6 times on low, then blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth, vibrant green, and no ice chunks remain. Over-blending can oxidize matcha and reduce antioxidants.

9. Taste & Adjust Sweetness: Pour into serving glass and taste. Add additional monk fruit sweetener (1/4 tsp at a time) if desired, stirring thoroughly to dissolve.

10. Garnish & Serve: Top with reserved mint leaf, light sprinkle of matcha powder for visual appeal, and serve immediately with a biodegradable straw to preserve the vibrant green color and nutrient integrity.
