♡ matcha oatmeal bowl︎ ♡︎ . . . A little bit obsessed with matcha again recently. So I like to have matcha with everything 😂 the other day I made this matcha oatmeal bowl and it was seriously boommm 🙌🏻 Ok I know some of you may not like the bitterness in matcha therefore I got a solution for ya😁 . . Here are the ingredients I used to make this matcha oatmeal: 1 sachet of @harrawaysnz Kamahi honey & golden syrup quick oats 20g @harrawaysnz whole grains rolled oats 10g @thea.nz collagen energy blend 120ml or maybe more @sogoodnz soy milk Everything in a pot under medium low heat, constantly stirring until it starts to thicken. Pour into your favourite bowl then move on to toppings. Harraways’ honey and gold syrup oats gives a natural sweetness to it so when it combines with matcha, the whole won’t taste as bitter. As the sweetness got it covered 👌 . . Toppings: bananas, quinoa puffs, blueberries, almonds, pomegranate, @goodforstore freeze dried strawberries coated with dark chocolate then drizzle over @cocomanuts smooth coconut Almond butter 😋 Simple toppings but with all the goodness and full of energy💪🏻 . . . Hope you all have a lovely day and stay safe!!

Salads

Pour some matcha on a salad, put it in a dip, or drizzle it over a grain bowl. The earthy taste makes a fabulous dressing.

Ice Cream

Mactha has become a popular ice cream flavor and you can whip up a semifreddo-style ice cream at home.

Baked Goods

To make your baked goods green, all you need is a tablespoon of matcha. It works well in pancake batter, muffins, scones, and cakes.
