　　This simple smoothie gets a bolt of caffeine from matcha and a good dose of protein from yogurt. The combo of yogurt, mango, and matcha results in a tartly refreshing smoothie; if you want it sweeter, add the agave.

Ingredients

　　1 ½" piece ginger, peeled, finely grated

　　1¾ cups frozen cubed mango

　　1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

　　2 teaspoons matcha (green tea powder)

　　1 teaspoon vanilla extract

　　½ teaspoon agave syrup (optional)

　　Purée ginger, mango, yogurt, matcha, vanilla, agave syrup, if using, and ½ cup cold water in a blender until smooth, then divide between glasses.

　　Cooks' Note

　　Matcha is available at Japanese markets and online.
