If you’re in a rush, I recommend making a quick matcha smoothie instead of a bowl. Though it’s very easy to make a matcha smoothie bowl. You simply need to add less liquid to the recipe so that your green tea smoothie is very thick and can be spooned rather than sipped.

Can Matcha Powder Be Added to Smoothies?

The short answer is yes! Matcha can be consumed cold or hot and it does not destroy the precious nutrients and properties of this superfood. Green tea matcha powder can be used for desserts, cocktails, and even overnight oats—which is the next recipe on my matcha list.

Matcha also has a little bit of a bitter taste, which I happen to love. If you are a green tea lover, it’s likely you likethe bitter taste of unsweetened matcha. You can find sweetened matcha that hides the natural flavor of the green tea, but that option also comes with a lot of sugar.

Instead adding bananas, blueberries and other natural sweeteners is a great way to enjoy a matcha smoothie.

What Fruit Can be Added to Matcha?

Adding banana and fruit to your green tea smoothie will add fiber and protein, but you can certainly skip the toppings although granola dipped in a little matcha smoothie is the most delicious breakfast you can make, second only to my acai bowl recipe.

Notes

Helpful Notes
  • I find that the banana ads much needed sweetness to the otherwise bitter green tea powder.
  • If you want to make the matcha smoothie recipe with no banana, consider adding avocado or  protein for that frothy smoothie texture.
  • You can also add protein to this smoothie. Matcha smoothie works with chocolate or vanilla protein powder. I recommend adding 1 scoop of either for added flavor and protein to the recipe.
  • There is a difference between regular green tea and matcha green tea powder. Matcha is bright green while green tea is more brown. Find the real matcha green tea powder at specialty stores like Whole Foods  online on Amazon. This is the matcha powder I use.
  • Trader Joe's also has a green tea powder that they sell for lattes. Its sweetened, but works in a pinch.
