Substitutions and Variations
Try different fruit: Use frozen pineapple or peach in place of mango for a new twist.
Switch the milk: Swap almond milk for oat, soy or coconut milk depending on your preference.
Make it vegan: Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of the honey.
Add a boost: Toss in chia seeds, flaxseed and/or protein powder to make it more filling.
Serving Suggestions
With brunch: Enjoy this smoothie with your bacon and sheet pan eggs or eggs benedict, or perhaps with a hash brown casserole.
As a sweet treat: Serve it with hummingbird cupcakes or some lemon bars.
How to Store Mango Matcha Smoothie
Store: I recommend serving these fresh but if you do have leftovers, keep them refrigerated in a sealed container and drink within 2 to 3 days (shake first to re-mix the ingredients).
Freeze: You could freeze it but the ingredients would separate and it wouldn’t taste as fresh, so I don’t really recommend it.
Top Tips
Adding pollen: I used pollen as a topping. Feel free to use or omit.
Sweetener amount: If your banana and mango are on the sweeter side, you might only need 1 tablespoon of sweetener. If they aren’t as sweet, you’ll probably need two.
Thicken it up: If you want your smoothie to be thicker, feel free to use frozen fruits.
Use ripe fruit: Ripe banana and mango will give you the smoothest, sweetest result.
Chill ingredients: Cold almond milk or frozen fruit helps make the smoothie extra refreshing.
Blend thoroughly: Matcha can clump, so make sure to blend long enough for a smooth texture.
Green Mango Smoothie FAQs
First of all, matcha adds a really nice flavor to the green smoothie. It’s vegetal, a little grassy and delicate tasting, and it goes really well with the fruit. Also, matcha is healthy; it’s rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins. It’s believed to lower blood sugar and cholesterol, and also burn calories and boost metabolism.
If you want to grab one of these in the morning as you’re running out the door, I would recommend making 2 or 3. As long as you keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator, they should be fine. Give the smoothie a good shake or stir before serving though since the ingredients will settle a bit. Since it only takes 5 minutes to make this vegan smoothie recipe though, you should also have time to make it fresh in the morning.
Not keen on the taste of green tea? You can just leave this ingredient out of the recipe. The green smoothie won’t be quite as green in color but it will still taste delicious.
Use culinary-grade or ceremonial matcha, whichever you prefer, as both will blend well in a smoothie.
Yes, matcha contains caffeine, but it’s less intense than coffee and releases more gradually.
