Matcha Banana Nice Cream

Matcha and spirulina are the secret ingredients in this bowl that lend it a vibrant color and unique flavor.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk
• 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
• 1 teaspoon spirulina, optional
• 1 cup (30 g) baby spinach
• ½ lb (227 g) frozen bananas
• ½ lb (227 g) frozen mango chunks

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Run the Frozen Dessert Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 50-60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
3. In about 25-35 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form. Stop the machine. Do not over mix or melting will occur. Serve immediately.

Notes

If spirulina is unavailable or matcha is undesired, they can be omitted but will leave this smoothie bowl lacking in it's bright green color. However, it will still be nutrient-packed and delicious!
