3 Easy Matcha Recipes Beyond the Latte

Matcha is wonderful whisked into a bowl or a latte — but it doesn't stop there. Here are three simple ways to enjoy that gorgeous green in your kitchen.

1. The everyday matcha smoothie

Blend one teaspoon of matcha with a frozen banana, a handful of spinach, a spoonful of nut butter, and your favorite milk. It's bright, energy, and a lovely way to start a busy morning.

2. No-bake matcha energy balls

Mix rolled oats, a little nut butter, honey, and a tablespoon of matcha into a sticky dough. roll into small balls and chill. They keep in the fridge all week — a quick, healthy snack with a gentle matcha lift.

3. Simple matcha cookies

Add a tablespoon or two of matcha to your favorite sugar-cookie or shortbread dough. Sift it in with the flour so the color stays even. You'll get soft green cookies with a gentle, grassy sweetness.

Which matcha to use

For cooking and baking, reach for a barista grade like Asahi. It's bold enough to taste through other ingredients, vibrant in color, and great value — so you can be generous. save delicate Ceremonial grades for whisking on their own.
