Choco-Matcha Bliss Shake
This shake is a delightful fusion of rich chocolate and earthy matcha, giving me just the right boost to kick-start my day. I love how it feels like a treat ...
I first stumbled upon the heavenly combination of chocolate and matcha during a cozy afternoon in my kitchen, experimenting with flavors.
It quickly became one of my go-to recipes, especially when I need a little pick-me-up or want to indulge without the guilt.
If you’ve never tried matcha before, it’s such a wonderful way to add a unique depth of flavor, and it’s packed with antioxidants.
Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Almond milk is my go-to, but you can use oat or soy milk as well. Raw cacao powder is less processed than regular cocoa, and it carries a deeper flavor. If you’re new to matcha, start with a little less and adjust to your taste. You could even use a matcha latte mix if you have that on hand!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to double the recipe and keep some in the fridge for later - it makes for a quick snack!
- •You can also sprinkle some extra cacao nibs on top for a delightful crunch.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll throw in a spoonful of peanut butter if I'm feeling fancy.
- •You could swap the cacao for some carob powder if you want a different flavor.
Storage & Freezing
This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake before enjoying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this without banana?
Absolutely! You can substitute the banana with half an avocado for creaminess, or just add more ice and a bit of nut butter for a different texture.
