Matcha Guacamole
Take your guacamole from a siesta to a fiesta with Foodie’s Matcha Tea! This simple matcha snack recipe incorporates all of the fresh ingredients you would find in traditional guacamole: avocados, garlic, cilantro, diced tomatoes and lemon juice. But what really takes it to the next level is the addition of matcha. This is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients, like antioxidants and amino acids. Enjoy this matcha guacamole with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. Pro tip: Use avocados that are ripe, but firm.
Matcha Shortbread Cookies
If you enjoy traditional shortbread cookies, then you’re going to love these matcha shortbread cookies! Making these calming cookies requires a little patience, because you have to chill the dough. If you’re tempted to skip this step, don’t! Chilling the dough not only intensifies the matcha flavor, it also prevents the butter from melting too fast so the cookies can retain their circular shape. The end result is a crisp and buttery shortbread cookie that pairs well with a matcha latte—or enjoy them on their own when you need a little brain boost.
Matcha Peppermint Bark
Meet your new favorite holiday duet: matcha and peppermint! This recipe adds a green tea twist to traditional peppermint bark. To make matcha peppermint bark, you only need three ingredients: white chocolate, matcha, and candy canes. The vibrant green color from the Foodie’s Matcha Tea adds a beautiful, seasonal hue while the crushed candy canes provide a delicious contrast to the smooth white chocolate. This matcha peppermint bark would also make a sweet edible gift for friends and family.
Vegan Matcha Lime Chia Pudding
Turn snack time into a moment of zen with this vegan matcha lime chia pudding. If you aren’t familiar with chia pudding, this recipe is going to be your new favorite snack. Chia seeds are rich in fiber, loaded with antioxidants, contain omega-3 fatty acids, and are a good source of plant protein. This matcha snack recipe is completely vegan and naturally sweetened with dates and Stevia. The end result is a sweet and creamy pudding loaded with a great matcha flavor that will leave you feeling full and energized.
Matcha Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars
What do you get when you combine peanut butter cups and matcha? These matcha chocolate peanut butter granola bars! This delicious on-the-go snack is healthier than it sounds—because unlike store bought granola bars, this recipe contains only five natural ingredients.
