In case you haven’t noticed, I sort of have a thing for matcha. I know it’s SO trendy… but I personally think it’s exciting to see really great healthy foods become insanely popular. Everyone’s drinking matcha lattes and matcha mochas these days – but now that it’s almost summer, here’s a really simple ice cream treat.
This one’s really more of an idea than a “recipe.” I didn’t even bother breaking out the blender to make these milkshakes because in the spirit of our “grab and go” monthly series with Almond Breeze, I wanted to make these simple enough to shake and run.
Mix a little almond milk and matcha until it’s well combined (you can use a regular whisk if you don’t have a cute match whisk). Add it to a jar with a scoop or two of ice cream. Shake it and stir it until it gets a little melty and enjoy!
Matcha Milkshakes {vegan}
- ¼ cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original
- 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon unsweetened matcha*
- 1-2 scoops vanilla ice cream (I used vegan coconut ice cream here, but use whatever you like).
- In a small bowl whisk your almond milk and matcha together. (Tip: If your matcha is lumpy, strain it with a tea strainer).
- Pour your "matcha milk" into a jar, add ice cream. Shake. Let it soften a bit. Stir and enjoy!
This is amazing recipe! Must be great for hot summer days!
What a great idea! We’ll try this, greetings from http://luksusportal.pl/en !
Yum!! I love milkshakes and I love matcha so this is definitely something I’m dying to try!
I love using almond milk for all my smoothies and shakes! This matcha shake sounds delicious 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Sounds delicious! Something I wouldn’t have thought of myself, thanks for the inspiration! – Charlie, http://www.lemonbutterlove.com/
Sounds absolutely delicious! I’ll share this with the cooking and food fanatics on WouldLoveToGo.com and they can make this together
This sounds like the perfect milkshake to cool down with on a hot summer day!
This is probably my favorite drink for the summer season! Matcha and vanilla are made for each other =) If you add some sweet azuki to it, it will add a nice texture for sipping!

I’m starting to be really concerned with the ALMOND MILK use. My work (conservation) makes me hyper aware of the more than a gallon of water needed PER ALMOND.

Trendy or not, matcha is awesome! I just love the color, especially in baked goods. These milkshakes sound great 🙂
Przymierzam się już od jakiegoś czasu do takiego milkshake’a z matchą. Bardzo mi się podoba ten pomysł 🙂
Hi, we don’t have Matcha in Ireland. It looks super. Got to get some.

You DO have a thing for matcha. This looks gorgeous…and delicious! 🙂
thank you for the great idea, I’m also a matcha fan and loves to drink green tea latte since I don’t drink coffee. It looks so yummy!
Absolutely stunning! I’ve been wanting to use matcha for so long now and this is sending me over the edge!
As simple as this recipe is, I would have never thought of doing it like that! Thumbs up!!!
