Matcha Avocado Smoothie with Yogurt and Banana (5-Minute Recipe)

This matcha smoothie is creamy, filling and ready in about 5 minutes. A teaspoon of matcha green tea powder gives it a gentle green tea flavor and a little natural caffeine, while avocado and banana make it thick and smooth without any ice cream. It’s an easy breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.

Here we blend our Matcha Samidori with avocado, plain yogurt, banana and raisins, then top it with boiled chickpeas and whole-grain crisps for some crunch.

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 1 banana

  • 1/2 cup raisins

  • 2 cups plain yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

Toppings (optional): whole-grain crisps and boiled chickpeas

Directions

  1. Scoop the avocado into a blender and add the banana, raisins and yogurt.

  2. Add the matcha. Sprinkling it over the yogurt helps keep it from clumping.

  3. Blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk or water.

  4. Pour into two glasses or bowls, add your toppings and enjoy right away.

Tips

  • Want it colder? Use a frozen banana or add a few ice cubes.

  • Raisins and banana add natural sweetness. If you like it sweeter, add a little honey.

  • For smoothies and other recipes, Culinary Matcha is a budget-friendly choice. Save a ceremonial-style matcha like Samidori for when you want the matcha flavor to stand out.
