Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ready to use. Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and remove the green stems.
- If the strawberries are not very sweet, you might want to let them sit with a little honey for 5 minutes to enhance their natural sweetness.
- Add the almond milk to a high-speed blender first to ensure smooth blending.
- Place the fresh strawberries into the blender, carefully measuring to ensure you have exactly 1 cup.
- Sift the matcha green tea powder directly into the blender to prevent any clumping and ensure even distribution.
- Add the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup to the blender.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are completely integrated.
- If the smoothie seems too thick, add a little more almond milk. If it's too thin, add a few more chia seeds.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, optionally garnishing with a few whole strawberries or a sprinkle of matcha powder on top.
- For best texture, let the smoothie sit for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to slightly expand, creating a more creamy consistency.
- Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.
Tips
- Always sift your matcha powder to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, even blend.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- For an extra creamy texture, freeze your strawberries before blending.
- Let the smoothie rest for 5 minutes after blending to allow chia seeds to fully hydrate and create a luxurious consistency.
- Experiment with sweeteners—try agave, stevia, or dates as alternative natural sweeteners.
- For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest possible result.
- Chill your glasses beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
- If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more almond milk; if too thin, add more chia seeds.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a light dusting of matcha powder for an Instagram-worthy presentation!
