Strawberry Matcha Smoothie

Fresh strawberries bring a fruity contrast to earthy matcha in this compact smoothie. A small amount of matcha is sufficient; adding too much makes the drink bitter.

Ingredients

Method

1. Mix the matcha into a tablespoon of the measured cold milk until it forms a smooth paste. Do not use hot water in a sealed portable blender.
2. Add the remaining milk and yogurt to the bottle, then prepared strawberries and matcha mixture.
3. Check the fill mark and blend according to the appliance instructions.
4. Taste before deciding whether any extra sweetener is needed. Serve cold.

Make it your own: Use culinary or drinking-grade matcha from a reputable seller. Matcha contains caffeine; use a smaller quantity or choose another drink if caffeine is unsuitable for you.

Portable blender notes

Ingredient volumes and density vary. Adjust the quantities downward if necessary for your specific appliance and never exceed its working fill line. Add suitable cold liquid first, prepare fruit into small pieces and check the frozen-fruit and ice precautions before making substitutions. Do not force stalled blades.
