Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Strawberry Base

In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, banana, 1 cup almond milk, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Pour into Bowls

Pour the smoothie base into two bowls, leaving space for the matcha layer.

Step 3: Prepare the Matcha Layer

Rinse the blender, then blend Greek yogurt, matcha powder, and 1/4 cup almond milk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4: Create the Swirl

Gently swirl or layer the matcha mixture over the strawberry base in each bowl.

Step 5: Add Toppings

Arrange fresh strawberries, granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and white chocolate chips on top as desired.

Step 6: Serve

Serve immediately with a spoon.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

The key to achieving the perfect thick consistency is ensuring your fruit is completely frozen before blending. If your smoothie base turns out too thick, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Conversely, if it's too thin, add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice cubes. When creating the matcha swirl, use a spoon to gently drag the green mixture through the pink base for beautiful marbled effects. For the best flavor, use high-quality culinary-grade matcha powder—it makes a noticeable difference in both taste and color vibrancy.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegan smoothie bowl, use coconut or almond yogurt and dairy-free white chocolate chips or omit them entirely. Add spinach or kale to the base for extra greens without compromising flavor—the strawberry and banana will mask any vegetal taste. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup depending on the natural sweetness of your fruit. You can also substitute the strawberries with mixed berries, mango, or even peaches for different flavor profiles. For added protein, blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder with the strawberry base, or top with hemp hearts instead of chia seeds.

Serviervorschläge

This smoothie bowl is substantial enough to serve as a complete breakfast, but it also makes an excellent post-workout snack or light lunch. Pairs well with green tea or iced matcha latte for a cohesive flavor experience. For a brunch gathering, set up a toppings bar with extra granola, fresh berries, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips so guests can customize their bowls. The vibrant colors make it perfect for special occasions or leisurely weekend mornings when you want to take time to enjoy your breakfast. Serve immediately while the base is still thick and cold for the best texture and temperature contrast.
