01 -

The natural caffeine from matcha gives you steady energy without the jitters
It comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably already have

02 -

Matcha can clump up stubbornly so I like to whisk it with a splash of the milk first before blending
The smoothie will start separating after about ten minutes so drink it fresh

03 -

Let your blender run a little longer than you think necessary it really does make a difference in texture
If you don't have a high speed blender sift the matcha in first to avoid those stubborn clumps
