Smoothie Week Day 3! Woo! And we woke up to about 11″ of snow here in Portland. And it’s still snowing! This Coconut-Matcha-Tahini Smoothie Bowl is one of my favorites. Creamy coconut and tahini paired with gorgeous green Japanese matcha. This smoothie bowl also has a decent amount of protein and good fat to keep you going through the morning. I love using sesame in sweeter preparations. It’s really nice here using medjool dates to bring some sweetness while balancing the flavors. I used E3Live’s Blue Majik in this recipe, but spirulina would work just fine.
For the styling, I used some mini homemade coconut nice cream balls. You can make a super simple coconut nice cream by blending frozen young coconut and a small amount of nut mylk in a high-speed blender. I also link to a more time-consuming black sesame nice cream recipe from earlier last year that would be delicious, too.
