Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup soymilk unsweetened
- 1 banana ripe
- 1 cup kale
- 2 Tablespoons hemp seeds
- 2 dates Medjool, pitted
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla bean powder
- 1 teaspoon matcha
- ½ cup ice cubes
- ½ teaspoon coconut flakes optional for topping
Instructions
- Add the soy milk, banana, kale, hemp seeds, dates, vanilla, matcha powder, and ice to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed — you can add an extra date for more natural sweetness.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. Top with unsweetened coconut flakes.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender. We like Vitamix and Nutribullet blenders.
- If your dates are firm, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes to soften before blending.
- To keep the matcha powder from sticking to the bottom of the blender, add the liquid to the blender first. Then add the matcha powder.
- Make it fruity by blending in a few pieces of fresh mango or pineapple for a touch of tropical fruits and natural sweetness.
- Try adding a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost.
- Swap kale for baby kale, spinach, or even ripe avocados for a richer, creamy smoothie.
- Want a smoothie bowl instead? Add less liquid, use frozen fruit and top with chia seeds, and a drizzle of peanut butter.
