Top Tips for Making my Tropical Green Tea Shake:
- I prefer to use almond milk in this recipe, but you can certainly use any non-dairy milk.
- Choose fresh or frozen pineapple for this recipe. However I will say, using the frozen type is definitely easier and it makes your shake extra cold.
- If you want your shake to be sweeter, add an extra date or other sweetener of choice.
- Want to make this recipe for your kids? Just simply leave out the matcha green tea powder.
