Can't go anywhere without seeing a matcha latte on the menu? I know, they're everywhere, and rightfully so - they're absolutely delicious (one of my personal favs)! But, whether you’re already a matcha fanatic like me, or have been curious to try out this unique flavor, skip the coffee shop and try this incredible Green Tea Matcha Shake instead!
With indulgent, energizing ingredients, this recipe is undeniably satisfying with 24g of plant-based proteins and 12g of healthy fats. To me, it tastes very much like the drink equivalent of a yummy shortbread cookie, with a kick of matcha!
I will say, this recipe took a few tries to get right (and when I say a few, I mean many), but I’ve finally perfected it and am so happy to be able to share it with you! With 310 Vanilla, matcha powder, rolled oats, cashew butter, unsweetened almond milk, coconut water, a dash of sea salt, it's truly a one-of-a-kind shake!
Now, let's get into some of the health benefits of this matcha shake...
The Perfect Complementing Flavor: 310 Vanilla
Believe me when I say, the combination of 310 Vanilla Shake and matcha in this shake recipe is quite the winning combination!
Matcha – which we’ll talk about shortly – has an intriguing, earthy flavor that’s typically sweetened with honey or sugar. In this case, we’re skipping the added sugars and using 310 Vanilla, which is naturally-sweetened with plant-based Stevia instead!

Earthy Goodness in Every Sip: Matcha
Now onto the star of this recipe and why you probably clicked on it in the first place... matcha!
Although matcha is a type of green tea, the way it’s made is completely different than your typical, regular green teas. Matcha is made by grinding young tea leaves into a fine powder, while brewed green tea is just the leaves infused into water. By grinding the entire tea leaves, you get a much more potent product and may even be able to better reap the potential health benefits, from the antioxidants, polyphenols, and chlorophyll.
As mentioned previously, matcha does have a very distinct, earthy flavor, which you may not be used to… but, mixed into this smoothie with natural sweetness from 310 Vanilla Shake, this Green Tea Matcha Shake offers the perfect balance of sweet and satisfying!
Rich, Naturally Sweet Taste: Cashew Butter
For creamy and delicious goodness, the last ingredient I must highlight is... cashew butter!
If you've never tried adding this nut butter to your shake recipes, this is the perfect recipe for you to start and see for yourself how this ingredient adds the most buttery, cookie-like flavor!
Not only does it add great texture and taste, but it’s full of healthy fats and even some protein to help keep you satisfied and full. And, what easier way to incorporate this new ingredient into your diet than in your shakes?
