My notes

Tips

  • Matcha contains caffeine, about as much per serving as a cup of green tea. For a caffeine-free bowl, leave it out and add 10 g more spinach for color.
  • Use a ripe avocado that gives a little when pressed. An underripe one tastes grassy and does not blend silky.
  • For a vegan bowl, use oat or soy milk, and maple syrup instead of honey.

Why it works

Avocado brings fat that makes the bowl silky without cream, and banana adds body and sweetness, so the frozen block spins thick. Blending the matcha into the milk first stops it from clumping.
