Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 large mango, peeled with seed removed
Flavorings
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tsp matcha powder (depending on preference)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the honey or maple syrup amount or omit it for a less sweet smoothie.
- Use any milk of choice—dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk—to suit dietary preferences or lactose intolerance.
- Adding a handful of spinach or kale can boost the nutrition without altering the flavor significantly.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.
- Use high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
