Ingredients

¾ cup non-dairy milk (I like unsweetened soy)
¼ cup plain yogurt of choice
3 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons toasted pecans
1 teaspoon matcha
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
1 large frozen banana
1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder, optional
handful ice, optional

Instructions

In an upright high speed blender, combine the non-dairy milk, yogurt, oats, pecans, matcha, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, frozen banana, protein powder (if using), and ice (if using). Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes

Here's how I got the swirl effect on the glass: smeared a bit of yogurt on the inside edges with the back of a spoon. Made koicha (thick matcha) and spooned a bit into the bottom of the glass. As you pour the smoothie in, you get the deep and light green swirls. Using koicha will really bump up the earthy flavor and caffeine content though!

You're going to love the little morning boost from this matcha banana smoothie. Filled out with rolled oats and toasted pecans, it's lusciously creamy without being too sweet.
