Matcha Green Smoothie Bowl

You haven’t read the study behind the claim that matcha has 137 times the anti-oxidants. That number came from comparing the green tea with the lowest amounts of antioxidants they tested to the specific brand of matcha they tested. Compared to the brand of green tea with the highest that they tested, matcha only had 3x as much. So, really, the 137 number is a highly misleading marketing ploy to trick people into thinking matcha is way better than it really is. Matcha is still better, but not to the degree you claim in your article.

Love this recipe! Where do you get your cute wooden spoons/jars you use for your chia puddings and whatnot?

I’m going to have to try all of these recipes. They all sound yummy. …and I have a pretty big bag of Matcha sitting in my kitchen cabinet going to waste! U totally forgot about it! I know, bad. Thank you for this list of recipes!

Wow. Such an amazing recipe. I just made this and am in love! By the way. I love your photography in your posts.

What kind of maple syrup do you use/buy? Thanks!

LOVED this! Delicious and refreshing. And beautiful too :)

The smoothie is so lovely for summer. Thanks!

Your book just came in the mail today!!! So excited!!!

This is lovely, tasty and super easy to make! I have a question about the coconut milk. I’m frequently confused about what the difference is between the coconut milk in the carton (usually in the “milk” section) and the different varieties of coconut milk in the cans – lite or otherwise – found frequently in the Thai food area or specialty cooking areas in the grocery stores where I live. I’d love to know which you use for the recipe for the best results. I currently use the “carton” version. Thanks.

Delicious and perfect for hot summer mornings–it’s like eating green tea ice cream for breakfast. I love adding macadamia nuts and even wheetabix.

Used vanilla matcha, and it’s one of the best smoothies I’ve ever had! I put pineapple as well.

Great smoothie! I’m enjoying one now. I will be making this refreshing treat often in the summer months. Another success, Dana!

I made this for my family and I and we all loved it. We just drank it instead of putting it in a bowl but I plan on trying the bowl way one of these days. It is definitely the most palatable way to consume spinach. I put in a whole tin of crushed pineapple (juice and all.) We all felt fantastic after drinking it. Thank you Dana for the wonderful recipe! :)

I just tried this recipe this past weekend. I LOVED it. I substituted the pineapple with mango and I was v happy!

Ok.
So as I can see, there is a big “wow” for matcha lately – both in my industry and around Vegans.
Shame to say, I’ve never tried it yet!
Thank you so much for sharing the amazon link, because I was very unsure about which one I should get (limited reviews on each one).
Definitely one of my must-try-from-minimalistbaker. :)

Wow, this smoothie looks totally delicious! Gotta try this!

Yes! Tastes delicious, love this combination of ingredients.

Nice one. Wanna check this out. Ingredients sounds new to me ?Will get u my reciew back soon.

This looks absolutely delicious! I love matcha smoothie bowls!

Yum! I’ve been adding matcha to all of my smoothies (this morning with mango and coconut shreds). Coconut milk is a great idea!

I’ve yet to create and post something using matcha but your delicious looking smoothie bowl has definitely inspired me.

Such lovely pictures, Dana!

Could you substitute almond milk or would the consistency be way off?

Pretty! I like to use Matcha Maiden’s green tea powder in my matcha smoothies.

this looks beautiful Dana! I totally laughed at the whole old age and getting jittery comment because I totally relate, I cut out the coffee at the beginning of the year because it started to make me feel awful and shaky but it is SO worth it! I feel so much better without having it… after you get over the whole detoxing of it LOL which lasted about a month! but seriously your energy is going to thank you for cutting back on it!

I actually have all these ingredients on hand! Yay! Is this to thick to drink through a straw?

What a beautiful color. I’ve been wanting to start using matcha but I am nervous about buying a brand that’s not very good. I can’t wait to try the brand you suggested! :)

Thanks for introducing me to Matcha!! Always learning great things from you!!
I had to start brewing 1/2 caffinated + 1/2 decaffinated coffee to keep from getting over caffinated! Also, if you add a pinch of baking soda to a cup of coffee – it takes out the acidity! Just telling you for when you “really” need a cup of coffee!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR COOK BOOK!

First, please give organic coffee a try before giving it up completely if you don’t already, and find conventional coffee irritating.

Second, I recently thought about drinking matcha just because, not necessarily considering quitting coffee, but I would if I liked matcha better.

Then I contacted my local, organic tea shoppe to see if he had it. He gave a simple answer: NOT SINCE FUKUSHIMA. I then began a quest to find matcha certified not to contain radiation. Rishi Tea ty told my buddy at Whole Foods that they test three times. That’s all well and good, but it’s not ceremonial grade, and I would prefer it.

Please let me know if you all know more than I.

This looks amazing! Thank you for adding a link to Amazon, I have been searching everywhere for Matcha powder! I cannot wait to try this, beautiful pictures.

I’ve never actually used matcha green tea before but that’s a lot of antioxidants to pass up. So I’m definitely picking some up the next time I spot it.
Also, smoothie bowls are my jam mostly because of all the toppings I get to put on them :D

I am loving matcha smoothies of late, but I’ve never tried adding in pineapple! Sounds delish, will be making soon :)

Sounds and looks delish! I’ve had a maca smoothie bowl but I guess this would be different…they look very similar. Will have to try!

This sounds SO GOOD! I can’t wait to make it.
Thanks for sharing.

I have yet to use matcha in my own kitchen, but you have me convinced! Already added that matcha powder to my Amazon cart :))

This bowl makes my heart happy, you have no idea. I am simply addicted to matcha.
My friends and I like to go get matcha smoothies from this place near us, but this would be so fun to make us for brunch one day! Thanks for the post! :D

I only recently discovered matcha, feels like I have a lot of catching up to do! This sounds delicious!

I’m kind of obsessed with all things matcha at the moment so this is perfect!

I’d eat it for that colour only *_* Who cares about the taste!

I’m with you, I had to give up coffee. It was killing my stomach. It’s been almost a year now and I’m totally fine with out it. I just drink tea every day now. David loves matcha but I only think it’s “okay”. I’d love to try it in a smoothie though!
