Smoothie Bowl with Matcha and Ginger

Packed with healthy superfoods and a little caffeine kick from matcha powder, this creamy green smoothie bowl makes a satisfying breakfast. Chia seeds and oats add density and fiber, while mango and fresh ginger add sweetness and spice.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons chia seeds
1 cup coconut-milk beverage or almond milk
1/2 ripe avocado
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled, roughly chopped
1 cup frozen mango cubes
1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond butter
1/2 teaspoon matcha (green tea powder)
Unsweetened coconut flakes, granola, and/or raspberries (for serving)

PREPARATION
Soak oats and chia seeds in coconut milk in a small bowl at least 10 minutes and up to overnight. Transfer to a blender and add avocado, ginger, mango, spinach, almond butter, and matcha. Puree until smooth, then divide among 2 bowls. Top with coconut, granola, and/or raspberries and serve.

To shorten prep time in the morning, soak oats and chia seeds the night before. Assemble all other ingredients except the avocado in a resealable container or blender pitcher and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, combine soaked oats and chia, avocado, and refrigerated ingredients in blender and puree until smooth.
