Matcha Mylkshake

Yields1 ServingTotal Time10 mins

Ingredients
 50 g de-stemmed kale (if you're new to green smoothies, start with half the greens)
 28 g (1 scoop) vanilla protein powder (I like Garden of Life Vanilla) OR 1 Tablespoon natural cashew or almond butter
 6 g (1 Tablespoon) matcha powder
 5 g (1/2 Tablespoon) ground psyllium husk
 juice of one lemon
 ¼ tsp vanilla extract
 107 g (1 medium) banana, sliced and frozen
 150 g (2 handfulls) ice
 ¼ tsp cinnamon
 2-6 Tablespoons milk of choice (I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk or oat milk)
 stevia to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon of the powdered Nu Naturals Stevia) OR 1 medjool date
Preparation
1

Add all smoothie ingredients (except stevia, if using) to the blender in the order listed. Begin at low speeds and gradually increase as the blades catch. If the blades stop catching, stop and start at low speeds again.

If you have a Vitamix, you can use the tamper to help press the frozen items into the blades. If you have a high speed blender without a tamper, just be sure to stop and scrape down the sides every now and then. Don't worry if it looks a little dry at first--this is normal. If you add too much liquid early on, you won't get the thick and creamy "soft serve" consistency pictured.

If you aren't working with a high speed blender, you may need to go ahead and add another 1/4 cup of milk to get things moving. Add more liquid gradually so you don't accidentally add too much and end up with a water-y smoothie.
