My favourite factor about this matcha banana smoothie is that it’s not too candy! Rolled oats, toasted pecans, and plain vegan yogurt add to the heartiness and likewise improve the naturally earthy matcha taste. It’s comparable in system to my chocolate banana oat breakfast smoothie! In each sip there’s the proper trace of mellow banana, nuttiness, heat cinnamon and vanilla, and that unmistakable, barely vegetal matcha taste. The caffeine enhance makes it an additional good breakfast smoothie. The whole lot you’ll want to get going within the morning!
Matcha and banana are the very best of taste pals. That creamy-sweet and barely bitter mixture works so superbly in a thick smoothie. I wished to present it a bit extra oomph, however was feeling uninspired by a nut or seed butter addition. Toasted pecan halves had been the best answer! After all when you’ve got toasted pecan butter, go proper forward with that. I benefit from the teeny flecks that the entire nuts present although.
I like including oats and plain yogurt to a breakfast smoothie as a result of they do contribute to a extra filling expertise. Nothing worse than chugging down a smoothie after which feeling hungry an hour later, proper? The pecans assist with this as properly!
When you’ve made any of my smoothies earlier than, you’ll already know: salt is a should. A little bit pinch simply elevates the entire different flavors. On this matcha banana smoothie, you type of discover it a bit extra! Each sip is somewhat completely different–a sparkle of salt, calmly candy, the whisper of bitter matcha, caramelized/nutty tones… I’ve by no means made a smoothie that drinks like this one truthfully.
Hope the lovers of all issues not-too-sweet dig this one! Massive hug.
