Matcha Almond Milkshake - Vegan recipe hero image

I still remember the first time I tried a matcha milkshake at a little café in my neighborhood.

It was like a warm, cozy hug for my soul!

Since then, I've been experimenting with my own versions, and this one, made with almond milk, has become a favorite.

It’s not just a drink; it feels like a ritual—quietly sipping it while reflecting on the day ahead.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using homemade almond milk because it’s so easy to make and tastes richer than store-bought. If you’re not a fan of almond milk, feel free to use oat or coconut milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor will change a bit!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my matcha in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh longer.
  • If you want to make this a meal replacement, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I like to add a tablespoon of nut butter for a creamier texture and extra protein.
  • If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll sprinkle in a bit of cinnamon for a warm, spicy twist!

Storage & Freezing

This milkshake 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use powdered matcha instead of loose leaf?

Absolutely! Just make sure it's culinary grade for the best flavor.

What if I don’t have maple syrup?

You can use agave or any sweetener you prefer, but adjust the amount to taste.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by adding the unsweetened almond milk to your blender.

  2. 2

    Next, sprinkle in the matcha green tea powder. I like to sift it first to avoid clumps.

  3. 3

    Then, peel and add the banana. If you're using a frozen one, it’ll make your milkshake extra creamy.

  4. 4

    Pour in the maple syrup and add the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    If you want a chilled shake, toss in the ice cubes.

  6. 6

    Blend everything on high until it's smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.

  7. 7

    Taste it! If you’d like it sweeter, add a bit more maple syrup and blend again.

  8. 8

    Pour the matcha almond milkshake into glasses, and enjoy immediately!
