Instructions

Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the banana, matcha powder, and fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional coconut milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creamy texture. For a colder smoothie, freeze the banana slices before blending.
