For the Smoothie Base

2 frozen bananas (For ultra-creamy texture and natural sweetness)
1 cup frozen mango chunks (Adds tropical flavor and vitamin C boost)
1 cup fresh spinach (Sneaks in iron and folate without affecting taste)
1.5 cups coconut milk (Provides healthy fats and creates silky consistency)

For the Matcha Power

1-2 teaspoons high-quality matcha powder (Start with 1 tsp if new to matcha)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (Optional, for extra sweetness)

Nutritional Boosters

2 tablespoons chia seeds (Adds omega-3s, fiber, and protein)
1 tablespoon hemp hearts (Provides complete protein and nutty flavor)
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (Enhances overall flavor profile)

Optional Toppings

- - Coconut flakes (Optional topping)
- - Fresh berries (Optional topping)
- - Additional chia seeds (Optional topping)
- - Matcha powder dusting (Optional topping)

Instructions

1
If your bananas aren't pre-frozen, slice and freeze them at least 2 hours beforehand. Pro tip: Always keep sliced bananas in your freezer for smoothie emergencies.(1 minute)
2
Add ingredients to your blender in this order: coconut milk first (helps the blender blades move), then spinach, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and vanilla extract.(30 seconds)
3
Toss in your frozen mango, frozen bananas, and matcha powder. Starting with 1 teaspoon of matcha is wise – you can always add more, but you can't take it back.(30 seconds)
4
Start on low speed for 30 seconds, then gradually increase to high. Blend for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth. If your smoothie is too thick, add coconut milk 2 tablespoons at a time. Too thin? Add more frozen fruit.(2-3 minute)
5
Give it a quick taste. Want more matcha flavor? Add another ½ teaspoon. Need more sweetness? Drizzle in honey or maple syrup.(30 seconds)
6
Pour into two glasses, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy immediately for best texture and nutrition.(30 seconds)
