📖 Instructions

1. 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!
2. 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.
3. 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!
4. 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?
5. 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!
6. 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.
7. 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!
8. 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.
