Introduction

A matcha yogurt bowl is a refreshing and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy a light snack. Combining the earthy flavor of matcha with creamy yogurt and natural sweetness, this bowl is both vibrant and delicious.

A bowl with a smooth green base layer of thick smoothie or yogurt sits centered on a white marbled surface. On top of the green base, there is a line of granola sprinkled with small pieces of nuts and seeds stretching slightly diagonally across the bowl. Mixed in and around the granola are fresh blueberries, several halved strawberries with bright red color and green leaves, and slices of black mulberries. A silver spoon is placed inside the bowl on the right side, partly resting on the green layer and granola. Around the bowl are scattered strawberries and bowls with blueberries and chia seeds on the white marbled surface, enhancing the fresh and healthy vibe. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup yogurt

2 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, add the yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Sift the matcha powder into the bowl to avoid clumps.
Step 2: Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly until smooth and the matcha is fully incorporated. Use the back of a spoon to break up any remaining clumps of matcha.
Step 3: Divide the matcha yogurt mixture evenly into two bowls. Garnish with your choice of berries, granola, and seeds for added texture and flavor.
Step 4: Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant matcha yogurt bowl.

Tips & Variations

Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier texture or dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
Try different toppings like nuts, coconut flakes, or fresh fruit to keep the bowl exciting.
If you don’t have a sifter, gently whisk the matcha powder before adding to help reduce clumps.

Storage

Store any leftover matcha yogurt mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but if stored, give it a good stir before serving. Avoid garnishing until ready to eat to keep toppings crisp.

How to Serve

The image shows a white bowl filled with a thick, smooth green smoothie base that covers about two-thirds of the bowl. On top of the green smoothie, there is a line of mixed fruits and granola. This layer includes whole blueberries with a deep blue color, halved bright red strawberries with visible seeds, and dark purple-black blackberries. Scattered among the fruit is golden brown granola with clusters and nut pieces and thin, off-white almond slices. Some small black chia seeds are sprinkled over the smoothie and toppings. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface with a white and blue striped cloth nearby, and a whole strawberry is placed to the right side. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
