This smoothie bowl is more than just a pretty face. The frozen fruit creates that thick, spoonable texture that makes smoothie bowls so satisfying, while the matcha adds a gentle caffeine boost and vibrant green color. Greek yogurt lends creaminess and protein, making this bowl substantial enough to keep you energized through your morning. The real magic happens when you arrange your toppings—each bite offers a different combination of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and nutty flavors.

Ingredients

• Smoothie Base: 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 frozen banana (sliced), 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice), 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for vegan), 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste), 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• Toppings: 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (sliced), 1/2 cup granola (gluten-free if needed), 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, banana, almond milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and matcha powder.

Step 2

Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.

Step 4

Arrange toppings: top each bowl with fresh strawberries, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and mint leaves as desired.

Step 5

Serve immediately and enjoy with a spoon.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the thickest, most spoonable texture, make sure your fruit is completely frozen solid. If your smoothie base turns out too thin, add a few more frozen strawberry pieces and blend again. When blending matcha, start with the liquid ingredients first to prevent the powder from clumping. For the best flavor, use high-quality culinary-grade matcha—it makes a noticeable difference in both taste and color. Organize your toppings in small bowls before you begin so you can arrange them quickly before the smoothie base begins to melt.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Substitute almond milk with oat, soy, or dairy milk as preferred. For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey. Add a scoop of protein powder for extra nutrition and staying power. Try other toppings like sliced banana, fresh blueberries, hemp seeds, or cacao nibs for different flavor and texture combinations. For a lower-sugar option, skip the sweetener entirely and let the natural fruit sugars shine. If you don't have matcha, you can make this as a pure strawberry smoothie bowl, or substitute with spirulina powder for a different superfood boost.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this smoothie bowl immediately after preparation in chilled bowls to keep it cold longer. Arrange your toppings in sections or artistic patterns for a beautiful presentation—the visual appeal is half the fun. Pair with a cup of hot green tea or matcha latte for a complete breakfast experience. This bowl also makes an excellent post-workout snack or healthy dessert alternative. For a brunch gathering, set up a smoothie bowl bar with various toppings and let guests customize their own creations.
