Ingredients
For the strawberry layer:
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 packet stevia or 1 tsp honey
For the matcha layer:
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 5.3 oz vanilla Greek yogurt *I use Oikos pro for a protein boost
- ½ banana frozen & sliced into coins for easy blending
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp cermemonial grade matcha
- 30 grams vanilla whey protein powder *optional but adds a nice protein boost
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- In a blender container, add the frozen strawberries, ½ cup almond milk, vanilla, and stevia.
- Blend until smooth and pour into the bottom of two glasses (or one for one large serving).
- Rinse out the blender, then add the matcha layer ingredients: ½ cup almond milk, Greek yogurt, frozen banana, honey, matcha, and ice.
- Blend until smooth and it pour over the top of the blended strawberry layer in the glass and enjoy. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
Notes
- Consistency. You can adjust the amount of ice (in the matcha layer) and the amount of milk (in the strawberry layer) to achieve your desired thickness.
- Use frozen fruit. Frozen strawberries and bananas are the key to that perfect thick, creamy consistency in both layers. If you use fresh fruit, add extra ice to compensate.
- Adjust sweetness. The amount of stevia or honey you need depends on the ripeness of your fruit and personal taste. Start with a small amount and taste as you go. Remember, you can always add a little more, but reducing sweetness is more challenging once it’s too sweet.
- Chill your glasses ahead of time. A cold glass keeps your smoothie cooler longer, making it extra refreshing on a warm day.
