Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using unsweetened almond milk, but you can totally swap it out for oat or soy milk if that's what you have on hand. The matcha is the star here, so choose a good-quality powder for the best flavor! And don’t worry if you don’t have chia seeds—this smoothie is still fantastic without them.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my avocados at room temperature until they’re ripe, and then I store them in the fridge to slow down the ripening process.
- •If you find your smoothie is too thick, just add a splash more almond milk to loosen it up.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter for a nutty flavor, which pairs beautifully with the matcha.
- •You can also add a few slices of fresh ginger for an extra zing if you’re feeling adventurous!
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before enjoying again.
