Creamy Matcha Pistachio Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana

• 200 ml unsweetened oat milk or almond milk

• 3g RHEA MATCHA ceremonial matcha

• 1 tbsp 100% pure pistachio paste or butter

• 50 ml warm water (70–80°C)

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

• A few crushed pistachios (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prep the Whisk:

Dip your bamboo whisk in hot water for a few seconds to soften the prongs.

2. Sift the Matcha:

Sift RHEA MATCHA into a small bowl to ensure a perfectly smooth, lump-free texture.

3. Mix with Water:

Add the warm water to the bowl and whisk briskly in a "W" motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and a light froth forms. Set aside.

4. Prepare the Base:

Add the frozen banana, your choice of milk, pistachio paste, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

5. Assemble:

Pour the thick pistachio smoothie base into a chilled serving glass, leaving a little space at the top.

6. The Final Pour:

Gently pour the whisked matcha over the top of the smoothie base. Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for a lovely contrast in texture. Stir gently before sipping to combine the rich flavors.
