👩‍🍳 Variations

  • Add some fresh or frozen fruits like blueberries, strawberries, pineapples...
  • Try mixing in some chocolate syrup for chocolate matcha smoothie.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder for protein matcha smoothie.
  • Ginger syrup works great with other types of sugars like raw and brown sugar.
  • Use other flavors in the ginger syrup, try adding vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, lemon or orange peel.
  • If you do not like ginger you can use mint syrup, maple syrup or agave syrup too.

I'm not claiming that this recipe is a 100% healthy, but it has two ingredients , no actually three, that I could not include them in a recipe that my kids will actually like, ginger, matcha and cashew milk. I have to say that this recipe tastes amazing. If I can get my kids to drink a smoothie, like it and even ask for seconds, you know that it tasted pretty darn good.

I've used cashew milk, which I find creamy and delicious, also used a couple of scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt, you can use dairy free products or use milk products, works both ways, adapt it to your preference and I am sure you'll not regret it.

If you're looking to incorporate the vibrant, earthy flavors of matcha into your baking, why not try these delicious matcha cupcakes? They're the perfect treat for green tea lovers.

    Love this wonderful drink and so many flavors I love all combined together, I am a huge ginger and matcha fan. I also want to try your Middle Eastern tea as that looks lovely as well. Wishing you a super day.

    Alternately, Amira, check the recipe, you've lost the water on the ginger syrup.
    Instead of using the sugar in the ginger syrup,, start with a quarter inch slice of fresh ginger that you cut into strips, then throw in the blender with the other ingredients and a teaspoon of wildflower honey, as local to your home in zip code as possible or the raw cane sugar blocks from S. America, at least 2 shavungs from the caramel like block of full vitamin/mineral ful sugar...to taste. Or use half a pitted date, also chopped and added to blender with full slice of ginger until taste is sweet, peppery and tannic from the matcha.

      Thanks Jacqueline for spotting this error. You have such a wonderful and healthy alternatives, thanks for sharing them with us. In fact this was my first time making the amazingly delicious syrup so I wanted to kind of follow it to the T, I thought of making it with stevia instead, may be next time :).

    Yum, this is the second matcha tea recipe I've seen, including matcha tea ice cream. Is that whipped cream on top of the smoothie? If so, I'm ready to slurp it down (even without the whipped cream)!
