My matcha and coconut habits finally collided in this glass. This coconut matcha swirl smoothie layers whisked matcha into coconut cream so the two swirl together green and white, and the coconut softens the tea grassy edge. It looks pretty enough that I take a photo most mornings.
Refreshing Coconut Matcha Swirl Smoothie
This smoothie features a luscious swirl of coconut and matcha, providing a rich source of antioxidants and healthy fats. It takes only 10 minutes to make and serves 2, making it a quick and nutritious option for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1/2 avocado, pitted and scooped
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, avocado, chia seeds, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Matcha: In a separate small bowl, mix the matcha powder with a little bit of water to create a smooth paste.
- Swirl Together: Add sliced ice to the blender with the coconut mixture and pulse just to combine. Then gently swirl in the matcha paste for a marbled effect, not fully blending it in.
