FAQs

What matcha to use for this smoothie? 

Ceremonial-grade matcha is consumed separately, while culinary-grade matcha is best when added to drinks like smoothies and lattes. So when you’re looking for the option that goes perfectly with your strawberry matcha smoothie, high-quality culinary-grade matcha with a vibrant green color is your best bet. Tip: Brown-ish, yellow-ish, or dark green matcha is an indication of a low-quality product.

Start by replacing the plant-based milk with almond milk yogurt (or some other thicker base). Then, swap out the toppings with options like seeds, granola, and dried fruits.
