Procedure to make green tea smoothie or matcha bubble tea smoothie:

1. Create the green tea itself; Set a small sauce pan on the stove. Pour the 200 ml of warm water into the sauce pan. Turn the heat on and set at medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, sprinkle the matcha or green tea leaves into the water then bring it back to a boil. Once the green tea mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat setting to a simmer. Simmer green tea for about 2 minutes. Do not simmer for more than two minutes as this will produce a bitter end product. Turn the heat off and pour the hot green tea into a small bowl and cool to room temperature.
2. Peel the banana and slice into one inch slices. Set aside in a bowl with water mixed with a little vinegar. This prevents the bananas from discoloring.
3. Take the stems of the spinach leaves and throw away. The stems are quite tough so it is better not to use them.
4. Pour the cooled green tea mixture into the blender.
5. Set the speed on the lowest and feed the banana slices, add the spinach and blend for ten seconds.
6. Next, add in the coconut oil and honey into blender.
7. Then add the ice cubes.
8. Add all the berries one kind at a time. Wait till the previous berries are well blended before adding the next.
9. Then add the yogurt. Make sure to blend the yogurt in well before anything else.
10. Then lastly add the powdered milk. The powdered milk will add some creaminess into the smoothie but without the heaviness of liquid milk.
