We love how adding matcha powder to our yogurt bowls: it adds a smooth and earthy flavor, plus a stunning green hue, I'm sure you will love it too!

🗒 Ingredient notes (+ substitutions)

• Yogurt: I used the dairy-free vanilla yogurt from the brand Forager Project, but you can use your favorite yogurt.
• Matcha powder: you can use ceremonial-grade matcha powder (quality ideal for making drinks) or culinary-grade matcha (a little less expensive and perfect for cooking). For a brighter green color, I recommend using ceremonial matcha! I love the matcha green tea powder from the brand Kettl.
• Vanilla extract: optional, but works well with the matcha flavor.
• Sweetener: I love maple syrup for breakfast bowls, but swap for regular sugar or agave nectar if you prefer.

✅ Favorite yogurt bowl topping ideas

• Granola: we love this sourdough granola, but for even more matcha flavor, then garnish with some homemade matcha granola!
• Seeds: chia seeds and hemp seeds are great options for adding extra protein to your bowl. They are both packed with fiber, plant protein, antioxidants and healthy omega-3, all excellent additions to breakfast recipes to help you start the day just right.
• Berries: try garnishing your bowl with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries for a beautiful color and more vitamins.
• Other fruit: great choices include banana, mango, kiwi, pineapple and peaches.
• Coconut: sprinkle some shredded coconut (unsweetened) for extra texture and flavor.
• Frozen fruit: let them thaw for 15-30 minutes before using, try raspberries, blueberries or sliced strawberries.
• Dried fruits: chewy and sweet, they add flavor and a nice bite to your bowl.
• Nuts: chopped or slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or pecans add a crunchy texture that balances the creamy yogurt.
• Jam: try using homemade chia jams to make your bowl wholesome and lower in added sugar.
• More: cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of maple syrup.

📝 Variations and serving suggestions

• Nut butter: for a boost in healthy fats and plant-based protein, then stir in a spoonful of almond butter, pumpkin seed butter or peanut butter.
• Spices: swap the vanilla for cinnamon, chai spice mix or pumpkin spice in the fall.
• Chocolate matcha yogurt bowl: add about 1 tablespoon of cacao powder and top with mini chocolate chips.
• Protein-rich: add a tablespoon of protein powder (we love the vanilla pea protein powder from the brand Orgain) to the yogurt mix for a high-protein breakfast bowl.
• Overnight oats: we love adding layers of yogurt when serving overnight oats, and this matcha yogurt would be perfect for this!

🍽 How to make a matcha yogurt bowl

Step 1: In a medium bowl, add the yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract and sift the matcha powder.

Step 2: Whisk until smooth and combined. Make sure to break the larger clumps of matcha powder (you can use the back of a spoon for that).

Step 3: Transfer to your serving bowl.

Step 4: Garnish and serve.

💡 Helpful tips

• Matcha tends to clump easily, so I highly recommend sifting the powder into the yogurt to break the larger clumps.
• If your yogurt mixture is too thin, which can happen if using dairy-free yogurt, then stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Chia seeds absorb liquid and will make the yogurt thicker.
• Make it ahead: simply divide the yogurt into 2 small jars, then top with chopped fruit, granola, seeds and your favorite toppings. Try to enjoy it within 24 hours.

❗️Storage tips

You can prep the yogurt mix up to 5 days ahead of time. Stir well before serving, then garnish with your favorite toppings. You can also build the yogurt bowl ahead and keep it ready to go in your fridge, although enjoy it within 24 hours to ensure your bowl is as fresh as possible.
