Print Recipe

A creamy, flavorful homemade version of the iconic blue milk matcha smoothie with fresh vanilla bean, perfect for a quick and indulgent pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial grade preferred)
  • 1 whole vanilla bean pod (split and seeds scraped)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (use almond or oat milk for dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste, optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional substitute for fresh vanilla bean)

Instructions

  1. Use a sharp knife to split the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and scrape out the tiny seeds. Reserve both seeds and pod.
  2. In a blender, combine 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk, 2 teaspoons sifted matcha powder, 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder, and the scraped vanilla bean seeds along with the pod.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or adjust to taste) and 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes.
  4. Blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and frothy. If blender struggles, pulse a few times before blending continuously.
  5. Remove the vanilla pod from the blender. Taste and add more sweetener if needed, then blend again for 10 seconds.
  6. Serve immediately in a chilled glass or tumbler. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of matcha powder on top.

Notes

Sift matcha powder before blending to avoid clumps. Soak vanilla bean pod in coconut milk for 15 minutes before blending for extra flavor. Adjust sweetness gradually. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Blend ice last if using a less powerful blender. Vanilla extract can substitute fresh vanilla bean.
