I figure I should post a refreshing beverage before the Summer is gone. This matcha drink is real simple. I got an inspiration from Jamba Juice. The only beverage I drink at Jamba Juice is Matcha Blast Smoothie. It's creamy, not too sweet, and you can taste a matcha flavor. However, to spend almost $4 a day isn't an ideal at this downturn economy and stock crash market. So, I mimic the drink and I think it's pretty close! Jamba Juice uses frozen yogurt but I opted to vanilla yogurt which makes it easier. I sometimes freeze it before using to make this drink.
I also used soy milk green tea flavor I found at my favorite grocery. It added more green tea flavor without ruining the taste. If you can't find it, vanilla soy milk works just fine.
Before I leave you with this refreshing smoothie, I have a giveaway to share! They are 100 customized postcards from UPrinting.

There's green tea flavored soy milk! Haven't seen it at TJ's which is where I buy my soy milk. Anyway, your smoothie sounds delicious and probably less sugar than Jamba Juice's!
This is such a great summer drink!!! I love Matcha and the smoothie looks so tempting and creamy!
green tea flavored soy milk?!? I haven't seen it before. next time I have to pay more attention. This smoothie sounds refreshing.
Don't think I ever saw matcha flavoured soya milk...the smoothie looks so tempting!
A delicious smoothie with matcha! Would love to find this green tea flavored soy milk too.
Hi Tanantha, as always great photos and interesting recipes. How are you? I haven't been posting recipes lately. Just been very busy, lots of things going on. I had the chance today to visit all my foodie friends' sites. (I have to take advantage of this since I have the time) Take care and happy cooking. I will visit again soon.
I have never seen this soy milk before...very cool! The smoothie looks fantastic :)
Hi Tanantha!
I want to find the green tea soy milk, where did you buy it?
Your smoothie looks so refreshing and flavorful, I just love the color;-)
Mmm, I love matcha, and I didn't even know Jamba Juice made a matcha smoothie! Where have I been! I agree with you about not spending $4 a pop for them, though. I'll have to try your delicious-looking homemade version! I'll also try your trick of freezing the yogurt first - perfect for hot summer days :)
The postcards look like a very handy way to spread a message! I hope you have a lovely week, Tanantha :)
Hi Patty! I bought the green tea soy milk at my local Asian grocery store..
