Matcha Green Smoothie Bowl
Description
This Matcha Green Smoothie Bowl combines frozen sliced bananas with pineapple (optional), spinach or kale, and matcha green tea powder, blended with coconut milk to a creamy and smooth texture. The amount of coconut milk can be adjusted to achieve a consistency between spoonable and drinkable, depending on preference. The matcha provides a mild grassy flavor and caffeine, balanced by the sweetness of ripe bananas and the tartness of pineapple.
Toppings such as fresh berries, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and slivered roasted almonds enhance the bowl by adding texture and subtle flavor contrasts. The combination yields a visually green, nutrient-rich bowl suited for breakfast or a refreshing snack.
Consume the smoothie bowl fresh for best texture and flavor. Adjust sweetness with additional bananas or natural sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia as desired. The recipe notes suggest a calorie-saving option by thinning with water instead of coconut milk.
Ingredients
SMOOTHIE
- 2 peeled, banana ~120 g each, sliced and frozen ripe
- 1/4 cup pineapple optional // frozen is best, chopped ripe
- 3/4 - 1 cup coconut milk canned or carton, light
- 2 tsp matcha green tea powder (see our Matcha Review!)
- 1 heaping cup spinach I like to freeze mine to make the smoothie colder!, organic, or kale
TOPPINGS optional
- fresh berries
- coconut flakes
- banana slices
- chia seeds
- almonds slivered roasted
Instructions
- Add frozen banana slices, pineapple (optional), lesser amount of coconut milk (3/4 cup or 180 ml as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), matcha powder, and spinach to a blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth.
- Add only as much coconut milk as you need to help it blend. In my opinion, you want this smoothie somewhere between scoopable and drinkable.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana (or a touch of maple syrup or stevia) for sweetness, matcha for more intense green tea flavor, or coconut milk for creaminess (though adding more matcha powder adds more caffeine, so use your best discretion). Pineapple will add a little tart/tang, so add more if desired.
- Divide between two serving bowls (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and top with desired toppings (optional). I went with fresh raspberries, chia seeds, and coconut flake. Bananas would make a delicious garnish as well.
- Best when fresh, though leftovers keep well sealed in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Use water instead of coconut milk to reduce calories if preferred.
- Consume the smoothie bowl immediately for the best texture and freshness.
- Adjust sweetness with extra banana, maple syrup, or stevia to your taste.
- The amount of coconut milk can be varied to achieve your preferred consistency.
