Matcha Smoothie Bowl

A matcha smoothie bowl is the kind of breakfast that makes you feel absurdly good about yourself. It's vivid green, naturally sweet, packed with nutrients - and it genuinely tastes delicious. The matcha adds an earthy depth that straight fruit smoothie bowls often lack.

This is our go-to for busy mornings that still deserve to feel like a ritual.

Culinary or mid-grade matcha works perfectly here. Save your ceremonial grade for whisked matcha and lattes.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

Base:

• 1 frozen banana (key for thickness)
• 150g frozen mango chunks
• 1 tbsp culinary grade matcha
• 60ml coconut milk (or any plant milk)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

Toppings (choose your favourites):

• Sliced fresh banana
• Granola
• Toasted coconut flakes
• Kiwi slices
• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Drizzle of honey

Method

1. Blend all base ingredients until completely smooth. The mixture should be thick - add liquid a tablespoon at a time only if needed. A very thick base means your toppings won't sink.
2. Pour into a bowl, smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
3. Add toppings in neat rows or clusters - this takes an extra minute and makes the whole thing more satisfying to eat.
4. Serve immediately.

Make It Your Own

• More protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• Extra green: Add a handful of spinach to the base - it deepens the color and you can't taste it
• Nut butter swirl: A spoonful of almond or tahini swirled on top is excellent
• Overnight prep: Pre-blend and freeze in the bowl - take out 10 minutes before eating
