Blue Matcha Smoothie Bowl

Why have a matcha with your smoothie, when you can have the matcha inside your smoothie?? Am I right? You get all the caffeine boost plus all the fiber, vitamins and nutrients from the fruit. It’s the extra kick to get you on your way out the door in the morning. I just love this smoothie bowl because it’s such a easy and simple recipe to make that you can whip it up under 10 minutes flat. Just simply toss everything into the blender and you are set to go. Simple as that!

Our morning routines can get complicated, that’s why I’m here to help simplify especially when it comes down to what you’re eating for breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it breaks your overnight fast and replenishes your supply of glucose to boost your energy levels, while also providing essential nutrients required for a day full of responsibilities. So if you are reading this and you are always skipping breakfast and find you are sluggish in the late afternoon, this is you sign to prioritize this smoothie bowl into your next morning! Don’t let me forget to mention how delicious this blue matcha smoothie bowl is too. The smooth taste of cantaloupe, mango, vanilla, and matcha all come together in perfect harmony, for the most refreshing and nutritious breakfast ever!

Throughout this summer, when the fruit is popping off, take advantage of the seasonal produce by making this amazing smoothie bowl because it will be the best part of your day.

Makes 2 smoothie bowls:

The Goods:

• 1/2 small cantaloupe, skin & seeds removed

• 1 (5oz) Forager Project organic vanilla bean cashew/coconut yogurt

• 1 large orange, skin removed

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

• 1 frozen banana, peeled

• 2 cups frozen mango

• 1 heaping tablespoon blue matcha powder (or regular green matcha)

• 2 cups ice cubes

For the garnish:

• diced mango and strawberries

• coconut flakes

• date syrup drizzle (optional)

The Method:

1. Simply, add all the ingredients into a large high powered blender except the ice cubes. Blend on high for 60 seconds until you have a smooth consistency.

2. Now toss in the ice cubes and blend again for 30-45 seconds until you have a thick smoothie consistency. You most likely will need an accelerator stick to help get things moving inside of the blender. If it’s still not thick enough, just add another cup of ice and blend again.

3. Quickly scoop out the smoothie into your two serving bowls. Flatten out the top of the smoothie bowl with a spoon, and then garnish with a generous amount of diced mango/strawberries, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, and a light drizzle of date syrup.

4. Enjoy immediately while the smoothie bowl is super cold and thick before it melts away into a smoothie. Perfect way to start your morning this summer!
