Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
- 1 ripe avocado (for creaminess and healthy fats)
- 1-2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder (adjust to taste—start with less if you’re new to matcha)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (or your favorite nut butter)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added texture and nutrition)
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
- A pinch of sea salt (to balance the flavors)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a touch of warmth)
Toppings (the fun part!):
- Sliced strawberries or raspberries (for a pop of color)
- Unsweetened coconut flakes (for a tropical vibe)
- Keto granola or crushed nuts (for crunch)
- Additional chia seeds or hemp seeds (for extra nutrients)
- Edible flowers (for an Instagram-worthy finish)
Instructions:
- Blend the base. In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, avocado, matcha powder, almond butter, chia seeds, sweetener, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until creamy and smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. You want a thick, luxurious texture—almost like soft-serve ice cream.
- Taste and adjust. Before pouring it into your bowl, give your smoothie base a taste. Want more sweetness? Add a touch more erythritol. Need a stronger matcha flavor? Toss in another teaspoon. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability!
- Pour and spread. Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, pour the matcha smoothie into a bowl. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a smooth canvas for your toppings.
- Get creative with toppings. Now comes the fun part! Arrange your toppings in a visually appealing way—sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, a handful of keto granola, or a scattering of seeds. Use your imagination! If you’re feeling fancy, finish it off with a few edible flowers for that Instagram-ready touch.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy your matcha smoothie bowl right away while it’s fresh and vibrant. Savor the combination of creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavors in every bite.
