Why I love this recipe
Super simple: I prefer to do everything in one bowl: mixing the ingredients, adding my toppings along the way, and eating right from it
Quick: If I tell you it's quick to make. It takes less one mine. Yes! I timed it.
Mixing Matcha into yogurt: 30 seconds.
Adding toppings: 30 seconds.
Customizable: Every time I make this recipe, it turns out a little different. It depends on the ingredients I have on hand and what vitamins or minerals I feel I might need. For example, if I feel like I need more healthy fats, I will add a nut butter to the toppings.

Ingredients needed
Matcha: if you can get your hands on ceremonial Matcha it is indeed the highest quality Matcha grade, the tastiest and has the most nutritional composition.
Greek yogurt: I like using Greek yogurt because it's high in protein instead of regular natural yogurt. I used unflavored and unsweetened yogurt, but if you’re using a sweetened one, you can skip adding extra sweetener.
Sweetener: I used maple syrup but you can use honey or agave syrup instead. Any liquid sweetener will work.
Toppings of choice: You can eat it as is or add some exciting colour and texture. I topped mine with homemade granola, blueberries and frozen red berries.

Hanaa's tips
- No need to use another dish. Just mix all the ingredients in the same bowl you’ll be eating from.
- You can amp up the protein in this recipe by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- If you use sweetened protein powder, you will need to reduce the amount of sweetener you use.
Variations
I suggest these topping combinations that I find pair well with the Matcha protein bowl:
Honey and almonds: Drizzle honey over the yogurt and sprinkle with a nut butter for healthy fats, sliced almonds for a sweet nutty crunch.
Berries and coconut flakes: Add fresh berries (like strawberries or blueberries) and a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes for a tropical, antioxidant-rich combination.
Banana slices and granola: Slice up a banana and add some crunchy granola for a creamy and satisfying texture blend.
Hemp seeds and dark chocolate chips: Mix in a teaspoon of hemp seeds and sprinkle with a few dark chocolate chips - white chocolate works well too- or cacao nibs for a boost of antioxidants and added fibre.
