Ingredients

For the Green Matcha Yogurt:

• 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (choose your preferred type; dairy or plant-based work equally well)
• 1 teaspoon of matcha powder
• Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional, especially if using unsweetened yogurt)

For the Smoothie:

• 1 cup almond milk (or your choice of milk)
• ½ cup crushed ice
• 1 teaspoon almond butter
• 1 cup frozen banana slices
• 1½ cups frozen pineapple chunks
• ¼ of a small avocado
• 3 tablespoons vanilla-flavored collagen peptides (ensure it's suitable for your dietary preferences)
• ¼ teaspoon Blue Spirulina/Blue Majik for that vibrant color
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional plain yogurt for layering

Instructions

Prepare the Green Matcha Yogurt:

1. Blend the Matcha Yogurt: In your Blendtec jar, combine 1/4 cup of plain yogurt with 1 teaspoon of matcha powder. Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no clumps. If you're using unsweetened yogurt, feel free to add a little sweetener to taste.

Layer the Yogurt:

1. Layer in the Glass: Choose a serving glass and use a spoon to spread a layer of plain yogurt around the glass, creating cloud-like patterns. Next, add the matcha yogurt on top, spreading it out to mimic patches of earth. For an extra pop of color, sprinkle a little Blue Spirulina/Blue Majik over the yogurt layers. The contrasting colors will look stunning!

Blend the Smoothie:

1. Combine Smoothie Ingredients: In your Blendtec, add almond milk, crushed ice,  almond butter, frozen banana slices, frozen pineapple chunks, small avocado, collagen peptides, Blue Spirulina/Blue Majik, and vanilla extract.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Assemble and Serve:

1. Pour and Enjoy: Carefully pour the smoothie into the prepared glass, allowing the vibrant green and blue colors to peek through the creamy layers. Top with a dollop of the reserved yogurt.
