I stumbled upon this recipe while trying to find a healthy and exciting way to get my daily dose of matcha. I've always loved the taste of matcha but often found it a little too bitter on its own. This smoothie, however, is a delightful change of pace and it changed everything. The sweetness of the mango perfectly complements the earthy flavor of matcha. This delicious mix creates an irresistible taste experience!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, gather your ingredients. Make sure your mango is ripe but not overripe—you want it sweet and flavorful. I usually buy mine from that little farmer's market down the street; they always have the best mangoes!
- Wash and chop the mango. You'll need about 1 cup of chopped mango; if your mango is small, use a whole one! I like to cut it into chunks instead of just slicing to help the blender work its magic.
- Next, grab your blender. Add the coconut milk, mango pieces, and matcha powder to the blender. A good quality matcha is key here, trust me. I discovered this amazing brand online, and it changed my whole matcha game!
- Now, add ice—it's essential for a delightfully cool drink. You'll want about 1/2 a cup of ice, plus or minus depending on how thick or thin you prefer the smoothie. Add more ice if you prefer a thicker consistency. And use ice, not water—this is a smoothie, not juice, okay?
- Blend until smooth. Start slow; don't want a matcha explosion, lol. Then gradually increase the speed. You're aiming for a super smooth, creamy texture. I usually blend this on high speed for about 30-45 seconds—or until it's perfectly blended!
- Taste and adjust. Once your smoothie is looking all fancy, give it a try and add more matcha or sweetener, if needed. I love to use a little honey or maple syrup, but it's totally up to you, buddy.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Garnish with a fresh mango slice if you're feeling fancy or a sprig of mint, or whatever makes you happy! You deserve it!
- Enjoy! The best part of the whole process is sitting down and savouring your hard work. You created this! Now, relax and enjoy that delicious smoothie... you’ve earned it.
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your liking. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more if you prefer a stronger matcha flavor.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to customize your smoothie, such as spinach, banana, or chia seeds!
