I was out running errands the other day when a craving for a Matcha Frappe hit me. Funny thing is I've never had a matcha frappe before but I had a very specific idea in mind of how it should taste - kind of like a light smoothie with a matcha flavour, refreshing and tad bit sweet. Mmm... 

I concocted a quick recipe in my head as I drove home and made a mental check list of what I needed: 
matcha powder ✓ 
ice ✓ 
almond milk ✓ 
agave ✓ 
vanilla extract ✓

Ok let's do this. 

VEGAN MATCHA FRAPPE FOR 1

1 1/4 cup of ice
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp of matcha powder (mine is from SBT Seabuckthorn)
1 tbsp of agave (add more or less depending on how sweet you like it)
1 teeny tiny splash of vanilla extract

1. In a blender, add all of the ingredients and mix on high until ice is completely crushed.

2. Pour frappe into a mason jar. Add a straw & garnish with mint to make it pretty.

Success. It tastes exactly the way I wanted!

Cheers!

FRAPPE MAKING TIP: The more you mix the frappe in the blender, the more the ice will clump together but don't worry, you'll be able to sip it through a straw. If your frappe is clumped together, use a spoon pour it into a glass so you don't make a mess like I did.

Special thanks to the lovely people at SBT Seabuckthorn for sending me an advance of their new Wellness Matcha.
