# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It gives you calm energy without the coffee crash, thanks to matcha's natural L-theanine.
  • The almond butter adds richness so it actually feels like breakfast, not just a drink.
  • You can blend it in under five minutes, even half-awake.
  • It tastes like something from a cafe but costs a fraction of the price.
02 -
  • Sift your matcha powder first if it's clumpy, or you'll end up with little green specks that never dissolve.
  • Don't skip the frozen banana, it's what makes this feel indulgent instead of grassy.
  • If your blender struggles, add a splash more almond milk to get things moving.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana slices on a tray first so they don't clump into one icy brick.
  • A pinch of vanilla extract or a few drops of almond extract can deepen the flavor if you're feeling fancy.
  • If you want it thicker, use less almond milk or add a handful of ice, if too thick, thin it with a splash of water.
