Chef's Pro-Tips

  • Layer Ingredients Correctly: Place liquids and soft fruits near the blender blades first, followed by powders and ice on top. This creates an efficient blending vortex.
  • Whisk or Sift Matcha/Powders: Sift fine powders through a small mesh strainer to eliminate stubborn clumps and achieve a silky, café-quality microfoam.

Ingredients
1 servings

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ¾ cup milk, of choice
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 2 tbsp warm water, for whisking
