Creamy Banana Matcha Latte

If you’re looking for a way to energize your morning or cool off in the afternoon with something delicious and unique, a banana matcha latte might be just what you need. This fusion of earthy matcha and sweet banana creates a creamy, satisfying drink that feels like a treat but takes only minutes to make. Whether you're a matcha lover or just discovering green tea drinks, this banana matcha latte recipe brings something new to your routine.

A Flavor Fusion That Works

Matcha has a naturally grassy, slightly bitter taste that pairs surprisingly well with the soft, mellow sweetness of banana. When blended with milk and just the right amount of syrup, this drink becomes creamy, smooth, and balanced—no bitterness, no overpowering sweetness, just pure harmony. It's also a great way to enjoy a refreshing drink that feels indulgent but stays light and simple.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
  • ¼ cup hot water (not boiling)
  • ½ ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons Syruvia banana syrup
  • ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Ice cubes (optional, if serving cold)

Servings: 1

How to Make It

Start by whisking your matcha powder with the hot water in a small bowl until fully dissolved and slightly frothy. If you have a bamboo whisk, this is the perfect time to use it, but a handheld frother or spoon will also do the job.

In a blender, combine the ripe banana, Syruvia banana syrup, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you're making an iced version, you can also add a few ice cubes to the blender.

Pour the blended banana milk into your glass, then slowly pour in the matcha mixture to create a layered effect or stir it in for a fully mixed drink. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing banana matcha latte.

A Twist Worth Trying

For an extra layer of flavor, you can drizzle a bit of vanilla syrup or even a touch of cinnamon syrup over the top. Want to add texture? Top your banana matcha latte with whipped cream or a sprinkle of matcha powder.
This banana matcha latte recipe can also be turned into a smoothie by adding more banana and a scoop of protein or oats. It’s a versatile drink that’s as flexible as your cravings.
