🧾 Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)

• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)

• 1–2 tablespoons MCT oil or coconut oil

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)

• 1–2 teaspoons powdered erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia (to taste)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup ice cubes

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for fiber)

• 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla keto protein powder

• 1 tablespoon almond butter (for a nutty twist)

• Pinch of cinnamon (adds warmth and depth)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Matcha
   In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2–3 tablespoons of warm (not boiling) water until smooth and lump-free. This step prevents clumping.

2. Add Ingredients to Blender
   Pour the prepared matcha into a blender. Add almond milk, MCT oil, heavy cream (if using), sweetener, vanilla extract, and ice.

3. Blend Until Smooth
   Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until creamy and frothy.

4. Taste & Adjust
   Taste your shake and adjust sweetness or thickness. Add more ice for a thicker texture or more milk for a lighter consistency.

5. Serve Immediately
   Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
