Here’s Your Grocery List For A Matcha Bowl Smoothie

To make a tasty matcha bowl, all you really need are a few simple ingredients like matcha powder, banana, and coconut milk (or your favorite plant-based milk). Curious about how to make it extra delicious? Check out the full list of ingredients to take your bowl to the next level!

A marble surface features a matcha bowl alongside five labeled ingredients: peeled bananas in a dish, a small container of vanilla extract, a cup of maple syrup, and a glass of coconut milk.

Matcha powder: Choose a ceremonial grade, and not culinary grade, for the best flavor and texture. To prepare, sift it to avoid clumps.
Bananas: Look for yellow ripe bananas with a few brown spots, but not overripe ones. To prepare, peel and slice your bananas into rounds or chunks, then freeze them for a frosty, smoothie-like texture.
Coconut milk: Go for full-fat coconut milk for a creamy texture. If you use canned, make sure it’s unsweetened with no added preservatives or sugars. Give it a good shake or stir before use because the fat tends to separate. You can also refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight for an extra smooth consistency.
Vanilla extract: Opt for pure vanilla extract with a label that often says “alcohol-based” or “extract”.
Maple syrup: You’ll want Grade A pure maple syrup for the best flavor.

How To Make A Smoothie Matcha Bowl

A blender jar on a marble countertop contains ladyfinger cookies and matcha powder, ready to be blended.

Step 1: Blend Ingredients

First, grab some frozen bananas (the frozen ones are key for that thick, creamy texture) and toss them into the blender. Then, add your coconut milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

While blending, if the mixture sticks to the sides, stop the blender and give it a little scrape with a spatula, and blend again until everything’s perfectly mixed.

Pro tip: If you want your matcha more well-mixed, try whisking the matcha powder with a little hot water to get it frothy and smooth before blending.

Step 2: Assemble And Serve

Once your mixture is perfectly creamy, scoop it into a bowl (preferably a wide shape). Here’s where you can get creative! Top it with whatever you’re in the mood for. You can use fresh fruit, crunchy granola, or seeds for texture.

Tips and Variations

Replace coconut milk with oat milk for the same creamy texture. If you’re looking for something lighter, use almond milk.
Swap bananas for other frozen fruits like mango or avocado to create the same creamy texture.
Toss in some plant-based protein powder or nut butter to add extra protein.
Experiment with the toppings. Use fresh fruits like berries or kiwi, shredded coconut for a tropical twist, or a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling fancy.
Add superfoods like spirulina, acai powder, or maca powder to give more nutrients.
Add cacao powder or dark chocolate chunks to make it more chocolatey.
For a low-sugar option, reduce maple syrup or replace it with stevia or monk fruit.
To keep this recipe vegan or dairy-free, use plant-based milk and dairy-free toppings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make a hot matcha bowl instead of a cold one?

Traditionally, matcha bowls are served cold, but you can make a warm version by using warm milk instead of cold. Just be careful not to overheat the milk, as it can affect the texture of the matcha.

How to store the leftovers of my matcha bowl?

Store the base and the toppings in separate containers. It’s best to freeze the base in serving-size containers. Using an ice cube tray allows me to quickly make a matcha smoothie by tossing a few cubes into the blender.

Serving Ideas

Serve with muffins, or sourdough discard pancakes for a wholesome, balanced breakfast.

Top it with fresh fruits, seeds, or granola for a more delightful experience. You can also use nuts, shredded coconut, or non dairy whipped cream for more options.

Pair with strawberry almond milk, turmeric coffee, or ginger turmeric shot to add a variety of flavors and health benefits when serving a crowd.

If you’re serving the matcha bowl on a hot day, chill your bowl in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes before serving.

Store in a leak-proof container or mason jars if you’re on the go.
