Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the matcha powder, baby spinach, 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. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or add a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use whole milk or your preferred milk for creamier texture. For a colder smoothie, pre-freeze the spinach in ice cube trays before blending.
