I stumbled upon this shake one afternoon when I was craving something sweet yet healthy.
As I mixed together my beloved matcha and cacao, I realized how beautifully they complement each other.
It’s become a go-to for me, especially when I need a little pick-me-up or a quick breakfast.
Plus, I love that it’s packed with nutrients from whole foods!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond milk for its creamy texture, but feel free to swap it for oat milk or whatever you have on hand. Raw cacao powder gives a deep chocolate flavor without the bitterness, and matcha adds not just flavor but also a lovely green hue and heaps of antioxidants.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my matcha in an airtight container to preserve its vibrant green color and flavor.
- •If you want a thicker shake, just add more frozen banana or ice.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I'll add a scoop of plant-based protein powder if I need an extra boost after a workout.
- •If I’m in a fruity mood, I’ll toss in a handful of spinach for added nutrients—just don’t tell my kids!
Storage & Freezing
This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this shake without banana?
Absolutely! If you don’t have banana, you can use half an avocado for creaminess, or even a few dates for sweetness.
