Perfect for a healthy breakfast or a magical snack, this smoothie blends the earthy flavors of matcha with the sweetness of tropical fruits and berries, topped with a whimsical touch of whipped cream and extra matcha powder.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chia Pudding

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (almond milk recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

For the Purple Smoothie

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup water or almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple

For Topping and Assembly

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra matcha powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Chia Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, your choice of milk (almond milk is recommended), matcha powder, and maple syrup. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly dispersed and not clumped together. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to allow the chia pudding to thicken and develop a creamy texture, typically for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Purple Smoothie: In a blender, combine orange juice, water (or almond milk), frozen banana, frozen blueberries, and frozen pineapple. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Add a little extra water or almond milk if the smoothie is too thick to blend easily.
  3. Assemble the Witch’s Brew Smoothie: Begin by pouring a small amount of the purple smoothie into the bottom of a glass. Spoon a few dollops of the thickened chia pudding along the sides of the glass to create a layered effect reminiscent of “bat warts and lizard scales”. Continue layering the purple smoothie and chia pudding until the glass is filled to your liking.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top the assembled smoothie with a generous amount of whipped cream. Sprinkle extra matcha powder over the whipped cream to enhance both the flavor and the mystical visual appeal. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For best chia pudding texture, prepare and refrigerate the pudding at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Use frozen fruits to achieve a thick and chilled smoothie without adding ice.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using naturally sweetened milk.
  • Substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk according to your preference.
  • Optionally, skip whipped cream for a vegan-friendly version or use coconut whipped cream as a substitute.
