Minty Avocado Matcha Shake - Vegan recipe hero image

I love starting my day with this Minty Avocado Matcha Shake.

There's something so invigorating about the combination of fresh mint and creamy avocado that just makes my heart smile.

I remember the first time I tried it at a cozy café, and I knew I had to recreate it at home.

It's a simple, nourishing way to kick off the morning or even enjoy as a midday pick-me-up.

Plus, it’s filled with wholesome ingredients that make me feel great inside and out!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

If you can't find fresh mint, you can use a few drops of mint extract, but be careful as it's much stronger! Avocado is key for that creamy texture, so don’t skip it. And if you're not a fan of almond milk, any plant-based milk will work; oat milk adds a nice creaminess too.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to keep my matcha in an airtight container in the fridge - it stays fresh longer that way.
  • If you want a thicker shake, just add more avocado or a banana!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I throw in a scoop of spinach for a little extra nutrition without changing the flavor too much.
  • If I'm feeling fancy, I might top it with some chia seeds or hemp hearts for added texture and nutrients.

Storage & Freezing

This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen avocado?

Absolutely! Frozen avocado works great and will give your shake an even creamier texture.

Is there a substitute for matcha?

If you can't find matcha, you can use a little bit of green tea powder, but the flavor will be different. Matcha really gives it that special kick!
