The method
Let’s blend this.
Whisk the matcha separately so it disperses evenly. The banana and almond butter bring the creamy finish.
Your kitchen companion
Tap the check beside each step as you go.
Whisk the matcha
Mix the matcha with two tablespoons of the measured oat milk in a small cup. Whisk or stir until it forms a smooth slurry, pressing out any dry lumps.
Your cue: The matcha should look glossy and evenly wet, not powdery.
Load the jug
Pour in the remaining oat milk and matcha mixture. Add oats, almond butter and vanilla, followed by the banana in pieces and the ice. Secure the lid.
Your cue: Keep the liquid at the bottom of a typical upright jug.
Blend · about 45 sec
Blend until creamy
Start low, then blend at a higher speed for about 45 seconds. Pause if the mixture stops moving; add a small splash of oat milk with the machine off before restarting.
Your cue: There should be no dark matcha pockets or large pieces of ice.
Check & pour
Wait for the blades to stop, then check the texture with a spoon. Pour into your glass and enjoy while cold, stirring if the oats thicken the drink.
Your cue: Aim for a slow, continuous pour rather than a stiff mound.
The finish line
Here’s what you’re aiming for.
Pale green and creamy, with fine oat texture and no dry matcha clumps.
Too thick, thin or grainy?Blending times are starting points; use the texture cues and your blender’s instructions. Loading order is for a typical upright jug. Switch off before scraping or tasting, and never put utensils into moving blades.
Pro tips
- Use ceremonial grade for a sweeter, less bitter flavor.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein for a full breakfast.
