Notes
Frozen mango gives a thicker smoothie than fresh. Coconut milk makes it creamier, almond milk keeps it lighter. Frozen banana balances matcha’s earthy flavor. Add more milk if too thick, or extra ice for coldness. Chia seeds boost nutrition and texture. Try freezing your milk into cubes for an ultra-cold, creamy result!
