Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
- Add the matcha powder, chia seeds, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, substitute milk with oat milk. To enhance the chia seeds' benefits, soak them in milk for 10 minutes before blending.
