This Green Matcha Smoothie Bowl makes a perfect summer treat. Made with bananas, kiwis, matcha powder and almond milk – it tastes like ice cream and has only 180 calories!
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!!! I usually make this treat for breakfast, or enjoy it in the afternoon, right after my workout. It satisfies my hunger and craving for sweet, it is low-cal and it has no added sugar.
I discovered Matcha Powder a while ago, while working at Starbucks, and was so surprised to find out that is has A LOT of health benefits. Here is a short paragraph from MatchaSource.com about this topic:

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 from many health-food stores.
Once you get your hands on some good matcha powder, you’ll need just a few more ingredients. Here is a list:
- 2 sliced and frozen bananas
- 2 sliced fresh kiwis
- 1 cup almond milk (I use Silk Almond Milk)
- 2 tbsp matcha
- toppings: poppy seeds, pine nuts, chopped kiwis (you may also use fresh berries, chocolate shavings, shredded coconut, almonds and other similar toppings)
And blend, blend, blend until it looks like this. ⬇
Simple, tasty, healthy and refreshing!
