Hi there! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Are you all enjoying the longer days & warmer weather? I am! I love it when the weather is just sunny & glorious & the days seem to go on forever. Sure makes me want to get out of the house & enjoy the local sights. We like to head out for family bike rides or visit one of the 17 surrounding lakes in our area. I definitely love taking in all the scenery & getting out to spend time together as a family. Because it seems we are always on the go this time of year, we are always looking for quick & easy ways to eat & go. Sometimes that means a shake or smoothie to fill us up, pack in all those nutrients & keep us going all day long. One of my absolute favorites is this Matcha Shake. It’s healthy & yet absolutely delicious. I feel like I’m drinking a dessert- but zero guilt.
This whips up in just a few minutes – I usually make a blender full so that the boys can have a double serving.
It truly does taste like a regular milkshake all packed with ice cream – but this is packed full of nothing but “good for you” ingredients. Can’t go wrong with that.

I’ve never heard of Matcha so I googled it. There are so many different places that sell it. Is there a particular brand or company you buy from?
I picked mine up on Amazon.com Crystal (just because I was already shopping for other things) I bought Rishi tea – sweet matcha.
Gina, anything that tastes packed with ice cream, but not… I’m all over. I’m with Crystal, what’s matcha? I’ve never heard of it. Thanks for the super cool recipe!
You should try it Mariel – it’s so good & good for you.
So is it a tea? I can only have herbal teas, no green or black.
Yeah- concentrated green tea. So sorry you can’t try this version. Maybe there is a concentrated powder of the herbals that you like & you could give that a try.
I love matcha!! My favorite kind of green tea. This shake sounds so delicious!!
