1. Matcha Pancakes
Nothing says good morning quite like fluffy pancakes with a vibrant twist of green tea. Here’s how I make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon Matcha Powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients, including the matcha powder.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and spoon in your batter. Cook until bubbles appear, flip, and cook another minute until the pancake is cooked through.
- Serve with your favorite toppings!
2. Matcha Latte
For those who crave a classic, I’ve found crafting the perfect matcha latte highly satisfying. Make sure to check out the blog post Discover the Secrets to Crafting an Irresistible Matcha Latte for an in-depth guide.
3. Matcha Green Smoothie
Boost your mornings or afternoons with a refreshing matcha smoothie. Just blend a banana, a cup of spinach, half a cup of Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of matcha powder, and a splash of almond milk. It's a perfect pick-me-up filled with antioxidants!
4. Matcha Ice Cream
Craving something cool? Matcha ice cream is a heavenly treat. All you need is heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and matcha. Whip it up and freeze for a dreamy green delight. Consider getting your bulk supply of matcha from the Matcha Green Tea Powder Collection.
5. Matcha Overnight Oats
Set your breakfast up the night before with overnight oats. In a jar, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, honey, and matcha powder. Stir, refrigerate, and wake up to a ready-to-eat meal. Check out the Matcha Powder Bulk 10Kg for a supply that will last you through your matcha experiments.

For a savory spin, try making a matcha vinaigrette! Combine olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, matcha, and a bit of salt and pepper for a zesty dressing that complements any salad beautifully.
7. Matcha Brownies
Matcha brownies are an inventive twist on a classic dessert. Just incorporate two tablespoons of matcha powder into your favorite brownie mix for a beautiful green swirl and added depth of flavor.

Need a quick snack? Mix dates, almonds, almond butter, oats, and a tablespoon of matcha powder in a blender. Roll into balls, and you’ve got yourself a healthy, energy-packed snack.
