- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the unsweetened vanilla plant-based milk, frozen wild blueberries, matcha green tea powder, pure vanilla extract, frozen banana, and ice cubes into a blender.

Notes
- You can substitute the frozen banana with a ripe fresh banana if preferred, but frozen will give a thicker texture.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your taste depending on how strong you want the green tea flavor.
- Use unsweetened vanilla plant-based milk of your choice—soy, oat, or almond work equally well.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if not strictly vegan.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately to retain frothiness and freshness.
