Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Peel the banana, slice it into 1–2 cm rounds and freeze them in a bag until solid, ideally the day before. 0:20
- Halve the ripe avocado, remove the stone, scoop out the flesh and cut it into chunks. Freeze in a bag until solid. 1:05
- Put the frozen avocado and banana in a food processor with the matcha powder and a splash of almond milk or water. 5:00
- Add the maple syrup and process until silky smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides. 5:10
- Scoop into bowls and eat straight away, sprinkled with black sesame seeds if you like. 5:25
Tip. Freeze the fruit the day before. Best eaten straight away; re-blend leftovers after a short thaw. Use water instead of almond milk to make it nut-free. Recipe30 says 2–3 serves; we count 2.

Vitamin B6 High25%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from ripe banana (52%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Folate High21%
86 µg a serve, mostly from ripe avocado (71%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin C Source15%
13 mg a serve, mostly from ripe avocado (56%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Potassium Source13%

Zinc7%
0.8 mg a serve, mostly from ripe avocado (57%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Omega-37%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from ripe avocado (77%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Iron6%
1 mg a serve, mostly from ripe avocado (44%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Calcium5%
60 mg a serve, mostly from almond milk or water (46%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin A2%
18 µg a serve, mostly from matcha powder (61%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Selenium2%
1.3 µg a serve, mostly from ripe banana (46%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin D1%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from almond milk or water (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
