Remember the Date Shake we made recently? Wasn’t that a hit in your house?! Now we’re going to switch up the flavor profile and add some green tea powder. Matcha Vanilla Date Smoothie has that signature flavor you already love in green tea ice cream, matcha lattes, or matcha green tea mochi. In this smoothie, we’re also adding dates and vanilla to the mix!
You can still add all your favorite smoothie project mix ins like bee pollen and flax seeds to up the nutritional punch, too. Matcha green tea powder is already full of antioxidants and vitamins. This smoothie is a win in the flavor department and win in the nutrition department! Enjoy!

Should dates be fresh or dried?
I use fresh, but you can use dried too. If the dried are super dry or hard, you can rehydrate them in some warm water to help them blend better. Good question!
