Matcha, green tea powder, is used as a drinking tea, but it's also used to flavour and dye foods. It has numerous health benefits, but the unique taste can take some time getting used to. If you're new to the flavour of matcha, this is a great dessert smoothie to try as it's very subtle mixed in with the velvety sweetness from the chocolate.

Yum! I am a huge matcha lover! However, I couldn’t tell there was any in the smoothie bowl. I also found 1/4 cup of mylk to be too much liquid. I ended up with a smoothie instead of a smoothie bowl. I would increase the matcha and decrease the liquid next time. It was still delicious nonetheless.

Thank you for the feedback, Aileen! I’m glad you enjoyed the flavours. Increasing the matcha and adjusting the liquid sounds like a great tweak 🤗

I like the bitterness. However, yet another smoothie where I didn't feel like the matcha complimented all the flavour or added anything. I do have a really nice matcha that I love to have as a tea without milk or as a latte. But I think I won't be adding it to smoothies anymore.

Hey Nicole, thanks for sharing your experience with the smoothie! Matcha certainly has a unique profile that shines in tea and lattes. In any case, we appreciate your feedback and will consider it when creating future matcha recipes 💛

I didn't have matcha powder so I left it out. Still delicious.

It is a rather sweet recipe but the matcha adds something new to the flavour, which is pretty interesting, especially as I hadn't thought of using the powder for anything else apart from matcha drinks!

Yummy chocolate treat! Not as heavy as I thought, so the amount of chocolate was well balanced. The matcha is a nice background flavour, providing additional earthy/herbal touch. I omitted the medjool date as I think the banana gives sufficient sweetness. It went quite well to process with 1/4 cup of milk, but I had to add a few more drops in the mix to get the smoothie out from the blender😂. I suppose that the texture largely depends on the size of the frozen banana; if it is a small banana, there is no need to add too much extra milk

It tastes really good and chocolatey! The Matcha taste was more subtle. I had to add more soy milk than the recipe said otherwise it was impossible to process.

Hey Célia, thanks a bunch for taking the time to share the feedback so we can improve! We've since increased the soy milk from ¼ (60 mL) to ½ (120 mL) cup 😊
