Creamy Matcha Almond Energy Smoothie

Ingredients

• 300 ml unsweetened almond milk — chilled
• 150 g plain greek yogurt 2 percent — cold
• 50 g vanilla whey protein powder — scooped
• 80 g frozen banana — sliced
• 30 g baby spinach — rinsed
• 20 g rolled oats — dry
• 2 g matcha green tea powder — loose powder
• 10 g chopped almonds — lightly crushed optional

Instructions

1. Add the almond milk to the blender first, followed by greek yogurt and vanilla whey protein powder.
2. Add the frozen banana slices, baby spinach, rolled oats, and matcha green tea powder on top of the liquids.
3. Blend on low speed for 20–30 seconds to gently break down the ingredients, then increase to high speed and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 45–60 seconds.
4. If the smoothie is too thick, add 30–50 ml more almond milk and blend again; if tolerated, pulse in the chopped almonds at the end for a few seconds for a soft texture.
5. Taste and, if needed, let the smoothie sit for 2–3 minutes to allow air bubbles to settle, which can make it easier on a sensitive GLP-1 stomach.
6. Pour into two small glasses; sip slowly over 10–20 minutes to support steady energy without overwhelming your digestion.
