Matcha is a type of green tea that is higher in antioxidants and caffeine than regular green tea. The leaves are dried and ground, then traditional whisked into hot water — so you’re consuming the matcha itself versus an extraction. You’ll love its grassy flavor paired with the other ingredients in this gluten-free smoothie bowl.

Customize this bowl based on what’s on hand in your kitchen right now. We included a Brazil nut for a boost of the essential mineral selenium, as well as maca powder for energy support. Out of those? Leave ‘em out — and add whatever you like!
Matcha’s caffeine is generally considered to be “gentler” than coffee, but it does contain caffeine. A serving is 1 teaspoon, so add more or less depending on your day and your caffeine tolerance levels.
