Ingredients

Smoothie

1 banana (frozen is nice, but fresh works too)
1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
1 cup kale or baby spinach
0.5 teaspoon matcha powder, plus more to taste
0.5 cup nut milk or soy milk
squeeze of lemon
handful of ice cubes (or use frozen bananas)

Instructions

Make the Smoothie

Cut the pineapple and banana into chunks, and gather the smoothie ingredients.
Place all the smoothie ingredients in the blender, starting conservatively with the matcha powder. Matcha is bitter, and if you are not used to it, it can be an acquired taste. Start light and add more to taste.
Blend until very smooth.
Taste and add more matcha powder if you like. If the flavor tastes bitter, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to balance this out.
Blend in a few ice cubes to make this extra cold and thick!
Pour into glasses and enjoy!

Notes

Start with less matcha powder and add more to taste—it can be bitter if you're not used to it.
Using a frozen banana makes the smoothie extra thick and creamy without needing as much ice.
Add honey or maple syrup if the matcha flavor is too bitter for your taste.
