Matcha “Nice” Cream Shake

We love to start our mornings off with a healthy shake especially when they taste like creamy matcha ice cream! This “nice” cream shake is blended with frozen bananas, coconut meat, spinach, vanilla bean, collagen and OWL Venice green tea matcha powder. It’s vibrant, green, and full of nourishing veggies and fruit. Our green tea matcha powder is delicious blended in smoothies or whisked up into a creamy caffeinated matcha latte.

The key to making this matcha smoothie more of an “ice cream” consistency is adding in lots of frozen ingredients and limiting the amount of liquid added. It’s good to start off with just ¼ cup of the hemp milk and adding in more as you go if needed. Thick and creamy is key!
