Matcha Blueberry Smoothie Cocktail Recipe

I’m always looking for new ways to mix up simple drinks, and this matcha blueberry smoothie cocktail is a fun one. The earthy green tea and naturally sweet blueberries come together for a smooth, refreshing sip. You get a balanced drink here—light enough for a cocktail, nourishing enough for a smoothie.

When I make it, I love how creamy it turns out, and the matcha gives just the right amount of kick. Blueberries brighten up the flavor, while the matcha stays subtle—never overpowering.

Honestly, it feels like something you could enjoy any time—maybe for an energy boost, or just to shake up your usual smoothie routine.

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients and a couple of easy steps. Once you try it, don’t be surprised if you start making it on repeat.

Matcha Blueberry Smoothie Cocktail Recipe

I usually whip this up when I want something refreshing but a little different from the usual. Matcha powder, blueberries, and creamy non-dairy milk blend into this earthy-sweet-tart combo that just works.

Equipment

• Blender – A high-speed blender really helps with frozen fruit and ice.
• Measuring cups and spoons – For the matcha, milk, and sweetener.
• Tall glass – Makes the smoothie cocktail feel special.
• Small whisk or matcha whisk – Dissolves the matcha better before blending.
• Knife and cutting board – For slicing banana or avocado if you’re using fresh.
• Straw or spoon – Optional, but hey, why not?

My blender’s got a strong motor, which makes a huge difference with frozen fruit. Whisking the matcha first keeps it from clumping and evens out the flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon matcha powder
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup frozen banana (use fresh if you want it thinner)
• 3/4 cup almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (totally optional)
• 1/4 avocado (optional, for creaminess)
• 1/2 cup ice

I usually grab almond milk for a lighter taste, but oat milk turns it extra creamy. Avocado thickens things up without changing the flavor much. Yogurt brings a little tang. Sweetener’s really up to you—blueberries and banana are already pretty sweet.

Instructions

• Whisk matcha powder with 2 tablespoons warm water until it’s smooth.
• Pour the matcha mix into your blender.
• Toss in frozen blueberries, banana, yogurt, and avocado if you’re using it.
• Add your milk of choice.
• Drop in the ice and any sweetener.
• Blend on high until it’s smooth and creamy.
• Taste, then tweak sweetness or thickness by adding milk or ice.
• Pour into a tall glass and drink up.

I usually let the blender run for at least 45 seconds to get rid of ice chunks. If it’s too thick, I’ll just splash in a bit more milk and blend again.

Notes

This drink works for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or as a cocktail base if you want to add a splash of vodka or rum.

For a thicker smoothie, stick with frozen banana and use less milk. If you want it lighter, skip the yogurt and avocado.

Sometimes I swap in mixed berries, but honestly, blueberries just go best with matcha’s earthy vibe. Frozen fruit gives you that cold, thick texture, but fresh fruit makes it easier to sip.

If you’re sensitive to caffeine, use half a teaspoon of matcha powder. Honey adds a floral note, while maple syrup blends right in with the berries.

Tasting Notes

When I take that first sip, it’s smooth—honestly, a little earthy from the matcha. Blueberries sneak in a gentle sweetness that keeps the green tea taste from taking over.

The texture’s creamy, yet somehow still light. Blending in fruit means you get some natural fiber, so the drink actually fills you up a bit more.

I pick up a hint of nuttiness, probably from the fats in the milk or yogurt base. That makes the smoothie cocktail feel richer, but not in a heavy way.

The flavors sort of stack up in layers:

• Earthy: matcha
• Sweet-tart: blueberries
• Creamy: milk or yogurt
• Nutty: optional seeds or nuts

It’s nice knowing you get antioxidants from both the matcha and the blueberries. The vitamins in the fruit give it a refreshing vibe, and I’d say the combo of nutrients probably supports heart health in a pretty simple way.

Every sip comes across as balanced—never too sweet, never too bitter. I find myself drinking it slowly, letting the flavors hang around a bit longer.
