Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Yonbancha green tea powder finely ground fourth harvest tea
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 2 medium Bananas frozen and sliced for creaminess
- 1 cup Baby spinach packed
- 1 tbsp Almond butter smooth and unsalted
- 1 tsp Honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract pure extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt to enhance the nutty tea notes
Notes
For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness. You can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural; simply shake well before drinking. To make it a meal, add a scoop of vanilla pea protein powder.
