Strawberry Matcha Yogurt Bowl
Neena BrostowskiThis Is What “Soft Life” Breakfast Looks Like
This Strawberry Matcha Yogurt Bowl is creamy, earthy, sweet, high-protein, fiber-rich, and honestly so pretty it deserves a little moment.
It starts with a creamy matcha Greek yogurt base, then gets topped with homemade strawberry purée, fresh sliced strawberries, pistachios, and ground flaxseed. It has that classic strawberry matcha flavour combo, but in breakfast bowl form.
It’s the kind of breakfast that feels a little elevated without being complicated. Very “I have my life together,” even if you made it in five minutes while your coffee was brewing.
Consider this your next hyperfixation meal.
🛑 Before You Start
The strawberry purée can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, which makes this bowl extra easy to throw together in the morning.
Let the purée cool before adding it to the yogurt so it doesn’t melt everything together. You can keep it chunky or blend it smooth, depending on the texture you like.

How To Make It
-
Make the matcha yogurt
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste. Stir until smooth and fully combined. -
Make the strawberry purée
Add the frozen strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a small pot. Simmer over medium-low heat until the strawberries have defrosted and started to break down. Mash with a fork, then let cool. For a smoother consistency, blend the mixture once cooled. -
Assemble the bowl
Add the matcha yogurt to a bowl. Top with strawberry purée, sliced strawberries, pistachios, and ground flaxseed. -
Add the extra swirl
If you want an extra flavour and aesthetic moment, mix a little strawberry purée with additional Greek yogurt in a small bowl, then spoon it on top. -
Serve
Enjoy right away as a creamy, sweet, earthy, high-protein breakfast or snack.
Note:
If your matcha is clumpy, sift it before stirring it into the yogurt. This helps the matcha blend smoothly and prevents little green pockets.
Make It Your Own
- Use vanilla Greek yogurt for a sweeter bowl.
- Use coconut yogurt if you want a dairy-free option.
- Swap pistachios for almonds, walnuts, or granola.
- Add chia seeds or hemp hearts for extra texture.
- Use fresh strawberries instead of frozen for the purée if that’s what you have.
- Add a little lemon or lime zest to the strawberry purée for a brighter flavour.
Why You’ll Love It

- It’s high in protein from the Greek yogurt.
- It’s fiber-rich from the strawberries and ground flaxseed.
- It feels like a café breakfast at home.
