I recently took a break from my usual Starbucks order and decided to try the matcha frappuccino, and I instantly just knew that I was going to have to try making my own version at home! I was determined to put a bit of a healthier spin on it, and that’s exactly how this recipe came to life. It’s naturally sweetened with honey, boosted with protein powder for extra staying power, and blended into a frosty, creamy treat you can feel good about sipping.

Plus, it’s made with real ingredients—no mystery syrups or crazy additives here. Just matcha, milk, a little banana for creaminess, and a handful of ice. Whether you need a morning pick-me-up or a mid-afternoon snack, this healthier spin hits the spot without the sugar crash. Put it on your list to try this summer!

Ingredients

Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
Matcha green tea powder
Honey or maple syrup (or a sugar-free sweetener if you prefer)
Banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
Protein powder or collagen (for added nutrition)
Optional: Whipped coconut cream for topping

How To Make Your Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino

Note: I’ve included a printable recipe card for you at the bottom of this post!

Blend it up – In a blender, combine the almond milk, matcha powder, protein powder, sweetener, banana, and ice.

Get it smooth – Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If you like it extra thick, toss in a little more ice and blend again.
Taste test – Give it a quick taste and adjust the sweetness if you want—just add a little more honey or sweetener to get it just right.

Pour and serve – Pour the frappuccino into a glass. If you’re feeling fancy, top it off with a little whipped coconut cream.
Optional garnish – For an extra touch, sprinkle a little matcha powder or a few chocolate shavings on top.

Tips for the Best Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino

Use good quality matcha – Ceremonial or high-grade matcha will give you a vibrant green color and a smoother, less bitter taste.
Adjust the ice – If you want it extra thick and frosty, just add a little more ice when blending.
Sweeten to taste – Start with a small amount of sweetener and build from there. Some matcha powders are stronger or more earthy than others, so it’s all about finding your perfect balance.
Frozen banana hack – Using a frozen banana instead of fresh will make your frappuccino even creamier without needing as much ice.
Blend really well – Let the blender run a little longer to make sure the matcha powder fully dissolves and you get that silky, café-style texture.
Make it extra fancy – Top with whipped coconut cream, a dusting of matcha, or even a drizzle of dark chocolate for a little something special.
