I love everything about this Green Matcha Smoothie Bowl: the ingredients, the ice-cream taste, the texture, the color and the health benefits. And it also looks so pretty!!!

When it comes to buying matcha, I found this one from Amazon to be the best and also one of the cheapest. You can also buy it in many health-food stores.
Once you get your hands on some good matcha powder, you’ll need just a few more ingredients.
Ingredient List
- Frozen Bananas. Make sure you use ripe bananas for smooth texture and extra sweetness.
- Frozen Kiwis. It's also a good idea to make sure your kiwis are sweet, before you place them in the freezer.
- Milk. I use non-dairy kinds of milk. My favorite one is Extra Creamy Oat Milk by Chobani.
- Matcha Powder. Make sure you use high-quality matcha.
- Toppings. Chia seeds, sesame seeds, pine nuts, fresh kiwis (you may also use fresh berries, chocolate shavings, shredded coconut, any nuts, granola, and other toppings)
How to Make Green Matcha Smoothie Bowl
