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!
