Notes
Tips:If your Matcha and Banana Smoothie Bowl mixture is too thick, you can always add a tad more almond milk to adjust consistency.
Freeze your bananas for an even colder and creamier texture.
Matcha can sometimes form clumps. Ensure you're using a good quality, sifted matcha to avoid any gritty texture.
If you're vegan, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and use maple syrup.
How to Serve and Eat:Present your Matcha and Banana Smoothie Bowl in a deep bowl to avoid any spillage.
Use a wide, flat spoon for the perfect scoop every time.
Pair your smoothie bowl with a piece of whole grain toast or a handful of granola for added texture and flavor.
Sip on herbal tea or black coffee on the side for a complete, energizing breakfast.
