Easy Banana Matcha Latte
A refreshing iced latte with the natural sweetness of banana and the gentle energy of matcha. Our secret dual-texture trick adds creamy blended banana and soft mashed banana for a special sip every time.
Equipment
- Blender
- Glass
- Fork
Ingredients
- 1 banana ripe, with some brown spots
- 1 cup soy milk or other milk of choice
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tsp high quality drinking matcha ceremonial grade recommended
- ice for serving
Instructions
Prepare the banana base
- Slice the banana in half. With a fork, mash one half until it's nearly smooth and spread this layer into the bottom of a 12-ounce glass.
Blend the matcha latte
- In a blender, combine the remaining half of the banana, soy milk, cold water, and matcha powder. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth, creamy, and frothy.
Assemble and serve
- Fill the glass containing the mashed banana with plenty of ice. Slowly pour the blended matcha mixture over the ice. Serve immediately with a straw to stir and enjoy both textures.
Notes
Banana Ripeness: Use a banana with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor. An underripe banana will taste less sweet.
Matcha Quality: For the smoothest, least bitter flavor, use ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary grade will also work but may taste more earthy.
Sweeter Latte: For a sweeter drink, blend in 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or a pitted Medjool date.
Banana Bread Variation: Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a dash of cinnamon before blending for a cozy, spiced flavor.
