Vegan Matcha Frappe (healthy Copycat Recipe!)

Tip: click step to get into cook mode

1 cup frozen non-dairy milk ice cubes (do this beforehand*)

1 ½ cup non-dairy milk

¼ cup hot water

1 tablespoon matcha powder (I like this brand of matcha)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean pod, scraped)

2 tbsp maple syrup (one date, or one frozen ripe banana)

Optional

½ cup cubed frozen zucchini

Vegan rice whip or coconut whip to serve

Prepare your matcha by whisking together matcha powder and hot water until no clumps remain. This will help to rid of any clumps in your drink once blended.
In a high power blender, add ice cubes, frozen zucchini (if using), non-dairy milk, whisked matcha, vanilla and sweetener of choice. Blend until chunks are broken down and you are left with an even texture. If you'd like to thin out your drink, you can add additional non-dairy milk to blend. I recommend using a tamper to help break down any finicky ice chunks.
Taste and adjust by adding additional sweetener if desired. Serve with vegan whipped rice cream or coconut cream.
