Matcha obsessed💚 Keeping warm and nourished with this bowl! On a side note I am SO happy with the natural lighting in my apartment, this was shot just before sunset too🙈 now I’m buzzing with a zillion ideas of food to shoot! – Here’s the Matcha Oatmeal recipe: 3/4 cup quick oats or rolled oats 1 1/2 cup plant-based milk (I used homemade hemp milk) 1 tsp organic matcha powder 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 small ripe banana mashed Add everything to a saucepan over medium heat and combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until are tender and creamy. Serve with your favourite toppings! I added banana, bluebs, macadamia cashew butter, choc chips, coconut flakes and quinoa puffs✨

It’s not uncommon to find matcha ice cream at your local ice cream shop and it’s super easy to make your own at home.

Baked Goods

Add some natural green color to your cupcakes, pancakes, scones, and muffins with a tablespoon to the batter.
