☕ What Is Banana Matcha?

Banana matcha is a cold, blended latte made by mixing banana with milk (or a non-dairy alternative) and topping it with vibrant matcha green tea. Think of it as a matcha smoothie that’s subtly sweet, rich in antioxidants, and just the right amount of fancy.

And unlike syrups or sugar, the banana gives this drink natural sweetness, a thicker texture, and a boost of potassium — yes, it’s as good for you as it tastes.

🥶 How to Make an Iced Banana Matcha at Home

Ingredients:

1 or 2 bananas (the riper, the sweeter!)
1 cup milk or non-dairy milk (like oat or almond)
1 tsp matcha powder
1/4 cup hot water (not boiling)
Ice
Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness, vanilla extract, or cinnamon

Directions:

Whisk your matcha: In a small bowl, whisk 1 tsp matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy.
Blend the banana milk: In a blender, blend the banana and milk until smooth. Add any optional flavors here.
Assemble: Pour banana milk over ice in a tall glass. Gently pour matcha over the top to create a stunning layered look. Add more banana cream and banana pieces on top
Stir and sip! Or leave it layered and take a picture first (because… priorities).
