Give yourself the pick-me-up you deserve minus the jitters with this tropical matcha smoothie bowl that\u2019s perfect for breakfast or a snack<\/em><\/p>\n

The beautiful part about matcha tea is that it complements sweet flavors very well, making it the perfect companion for tropical fruits such as pineapple and bananas. I love to add spinach to the mix (and most of my smoothies), because it brightens up the green hue as well as boosts the amount of vitamin a, c, iron in your bowl without adding a bitter flavor to it.<\/p>\n

Recipe Inspiration<\/h4>\n

This recipe is inspired by the tranquil and refreshing matcha latte. Matcha is a special type of japanese green tea, that is harvested and finely pulverized into a powder to be mixed with water or milk. Matcha has up to 30 times the antioxidants of traditional brewed green leaf tea and leaves you energized without the spike of a cup of coffee or espresso. This vibrant tea has a unique, herbaceous grassy taste, can be added to beverages, baked goods, and more.\u00a0 Gift you\u2019ve ever ordered a warm matcha latte at a coffee shop, you\u2019ve seen the iconic swirl. Here\u2019s a photo of one I created a few years ago. Please let me know if you\u2019d like the recipe!<\/p>\n

I use yogurt in my smoothie bowl mimic the swirl on top of the matcha latte. It adds some creaminess to each spoonful of your smoothie as well. To keep this recipe completely vegan, use your favorite plant-based yogurt.<\/p>\n

Recipe Tips<\/h4>\n

i love smoothie bowls because it gives the feeling you are eating ice cream or a parfait. to create your smoothie bowl, simply dump, blend transfer to your containers, garnish, and eat!<\/p>\n

here are a few tips to get the perfect ice-cream like consistency. always start with frozen fruit. you may be tempted to skip this step, but it makes a huge difference in texture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a bind, add some ice cubes to thicken the mixture, however, it will dilute the taste of your smoothie. When adding your ingredients to your blender or processor, add liquid first, then the remaining ingredients. Start the blender\/processor on low and then increase the speed as the smoothie begins to emulsify. This allows the blades to move through the frozen fruit and veggies easily. If your smoothie is too thick to blend, add a small amount of liquid, scrape down the sides of the container, and blend again. adding too much liquid will result in a thinner textured smoothie.<\/p>\n

Meal Prep Tips<\/h4>\n

Prep your smoothies for the night or week before by adding fruits and matcha powder to individual freezer-safe bags or containers, so that you can quickly grab a pack, add liquid, and blend without portioning. Smoothie packs usually last about 3-5 months in the freezer.<\/p>\n
