Craving the refreshing, creamy goodness of a frappuccino but want a healthier option? This homemade Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino hits the spot! Packed with the natural benefits of matcha, a boost of protein, and naturally sweetened with honey, it’s a perfect way to enjoy your favorite coffee shop treat without the guilt.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1–2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or a sugar-free sweetener to taste)
1 banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
1 tablespoon protein powder or collagen (for added nutrition)
Optional: A dollop of whipped coconut cream for topping
Instructions
- Blend it up:
In a blender, combine the almond milk, matcha powder, protein powder, sweetener, banana, and ice. - Get it smooth:
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. For a thicker consistency, add more ice and blend again. - Taste test:
Give it a quick taste and adjust the sweetness if needed—add more honey or sweetener until it’s just right. - Pour and serve:
Pour the frappuccino into a glass. If you’re feeling fancy, top it off with a dollop of whipped coconut cream. - Optional garnish:
For an extra touch, sprinkle a little matcha powder or chocolate shavings on top.
Notes
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut or oat milk instead of almond milk for a different flavor and texture.
- More Protein: Add more protein powder if you want to up the nutritional content.
- Sugar-Free: Swap the honey or maple syrup for a sugar-free sweetener, like stevia or monk fruit.
