Matcha Bowl Recipe from Teresa Cutter of The Health Chef.Paul Cutter / The Healthy Chef by [Teresa Cutter — The Healthy Chef](https://time.com/author/teresa-cutter-the-healthy-chef/) ## Teresa Cutter — The Healthy Chef May 25, 2018 12:00 PM UTC One of the reasons that I love matcha so much is that it’s both energizing and calming at the same time. This green powder has become an integral part of my daily morning ritual, but instead of drinking matcha all the time, I also like to mix it up and [create fun breakfast](http://time.com/4162074/10-super-healthy-breakfasts-from-cooking-light/) bowls with it. These only take a few minutes to make, and have become my go-to meals in the AM, especially when I’m pressed for time. So if you’ve only used matcha in tea, smoothies or ice cream, I strongly suggest trying it in a bowl. Adding in some of your favorite fruits, such as [kiwis](http://time.com/3763271/gnc-supplements-nutrients-food/), will only make it tastier and more nutritious. Matcha, which is a [type of green tea](http://time.com/5188377/matcha-tea-benefits/), contains a type of antioxidant called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which has been linked to fighting cancer. Consuming green tea has also been tied to many health benefits from preventing heart disease to supporting weight loss. Most of the studies on green tea, however, have only shown association, and not causation. Still, when I drink or eat matcha I always feel stimulated for the day, but never jittery. This delicious and simple recipe is from my [Healthy Chef Recipe App](https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1019047858?mt=8). **INGREDIENTS** * 1 banana, chopped and frozen * Handful baby spinach leaves * 1 tablespoon Healthy Chef Protein or almond butter * Generous handful of ice * 250 ml (8 fl oz / 1 cup) coconut water or almond milk * 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder * 2 tablespoons coconut yogurt or coconut cream * 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced * 1 teaspoon bee pollen (optional) **DIRECTIONS** 1.
