Recipe Tips and Notes

An easy way to get the avocado pit out of the avocado, is by pushing the pit out with your thumb from the exterior side of the avocado. Since the shape of the avocado doesn’t matter in a smoothie, you can squish the avocado a bit. More than once my knife has slipped trying to get the pit out of this is my perferred (and safest) method.
It helps to have the milk at the bottom of the blender so the blades can move more freely.
Always use ripe avocados for the smoothie or the texture and taste will be off. The avocado will yield to a gentle squeeze if they’re ripe.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I wouldn’t make this more than a day in advance as the smoothie can separate in the fridge.

Do I have to sift my matcha powder?

Nope! Thanks to the blender, the matcha will blend seamlessly into the smoothie.

Does this have caffeine?

There’s caffeine in matcha so there’s some caffeine in this drink.
