Matcha Milkshake (GF)

Matcha Milkshake

I’m cray cray about matcha recently as evidenced by my Matcha Madeleines (gf) and Matcha Coconut Mochi (gf) recipe.

Matcha powder. I use Do Matcha, which is an organic green tea

It’s hot hot hot in Vancouver and I’ve been craving a cold milkshake so I whizzed one up in mere minutes in my Vitamix. Green tea is full of antioxidants and the slight bitterness of the matcha powder tempers the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream.

Get your Vitamix out for this. Starbucks uses these commercial-grade blenders to finely slushify ice-cubes.

If you love green tea ice-cream this Matcha Milkshake is for you. Watch out though or you’ll get a brain freeze slurping too fast. This is me. Always.

I used Costco’s Kirkland brand Vanilla Ice Cream for my milkshake.

My recipe can be easily made dairy-free by substituting almond or coconut milk instead of the milk and coconut milk ice-cream for regular ice-cream. If you like it creamy, use full-fat milk; if not, you can use straight water. I used water and it was just fine.

Matcha Milkshake! So delish!

Matcha Milkshake (makes one serving)

1 tablespoon matcha

2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or dairy free coconut milk ice-cream)

1/2 cup milk or water (coconut or almond milk)

2 cups ice

1. Place milk and matcha in Vitamix blender and blend on low speed until mixed thoroughly.

2. Add rest of the ingredients; starting at a low speed, gradually increase speed until milkshake is smooth and ice is fine and slushy. Use that vitamix stomper to get that ice going if you need to.

Walnut Crusted Chicken Breast – It’s all About the Nut Glue

I almost never order a nut-crusted entrée in a restaurant, since they usually use a sugary glaze to hold them on, and/or feature a too sweet nut, like pecan, or macadamia. That’s not an issue here; since we’re going with buttery, subtly bitter walnuts, held on with a very savory […]

5-Minute Fisherman’s Stew – Give or Take

Of course this Fisherman’s Stew takes more than five minutes to make, and I’m actually referring to the approximate cooking time once the seafood hits the pan, but as they say, it’s only false advertising if someone else does it. Besides, one taste and I’m sure you’ll forgive any temporal […]

Pear Clafoutis – Almost as Good as it Looks

It sounds odd to say that a recipe’s biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that’s sort of the case with this pear clafoutis. Through no fault of its own, this crust-less, custard fruit tart looks a lot sweeter, and richer than it actually is. So, please be […]

Bloody Mary Burrata – An Experiment in Liquefying Salads

I don’t think there’s actually a difference between a liquid salad, and a cold vegetable soup, but if there is, I’d like this Bloody Mary Burrata recipe to be considered the former. Especially since I already posted a gazpacho this summer. But regardless of what you call this strange hybrid, […]

Chef John is On Vacation and More

That’s right! I’m on vacation for the rest of the week, and the beginning of the next, which usually means a lot of rest and relaxation, but not this time. That’s because Michele and I are going to be working harder than ever on a major, top secret personal project. […]
