1 tbsp chia seeds

½ cup frozen berries (blueberries, mixed, or swap for mango/pineapple)

Instructions
-
Prep Your Blender: Pour the milk into the blender first to help the blades move easily.
-
Add Powders: Add matcha and chia seeds. Pulse 2–3 seconds to start incorporating.
-
Load Frozen Fruit: Add frozen banana chunks and frozen berries. Place frozen fruit on top for smoother blending.
-
Blend: Start on low, then ramp to high for 30–45 seconds until thick and spoonable. Stop to scrape sides if needed.
-
Too thick? Add 1 tbsp milk.
-
Too thin? Add more frozen banana or a handful of ice.
-
-
Serve & Top: Pour into a wide bowl. Arrange toppings as you like—granola, sliced fruit, coconut, nut butter, or seeds.
-
Enjoy Immediately: Best eaten fresh while thick and cold.
Notes
-
Runny bowl? Blend again with more frozen banana, ice, or oats.
-
No matcha? Brewed green tea works but color & thickness will differ.
-
Make ahead? Prep ingredients separately; blend in the morning for best texture.
-
Filling enough? Yes—fiber, healthy fats, and natural sugars provide steady energy. Boost with toppings if desired.
