Matcha smoothies work best when the fruit and sweetener support the tea rather than overwhelm it.
Basic smoothie formula
- 4 grams matcha
- 30 grams water at 160°F
- 100–130 grams milk or oat milk
- 80–120 grams fruit
- 80–120 grams ice
- Optional 10–15 grams sweetener
- Prepare and briefly cool the matcha base.
- Add milk, fruit, sweetener and matcha to the blender.
- Add ice last and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately.
Good fruit pairings
Banana adds body and sweetness. Strawberry and blueberry add brighter fruit flavor. Mango is stronger and may require less sweetener.
For cafés
Weigh fruit and ice, specify whether fruit is fresh or frozen, and document blender time. Different fruit temperatures and ripeness levels change texture.
