Want to try chlorophyll? Make this bowl with matcha powder which gets its green color from chlorophyll, the plant pigment known to help lower inflammation, speed up metabolism, promote clear skin, and more.

The leafy green powder tastes delicious on its own but became popular when incorporated into other items such as cakes, lattes, smoothies, oatmeal, pancakes, acai bowls, and more. The rich green color comes from chlorophyll and adds a pretty touch to food.

This recipe is a matcha-based açai bowl topped with fruits, nuts, and grains – a refreshing and healthy breakfast or snack. Açai bowls are a puree of the açai berry mixed with ice in a blender and are typically topped with fruit and granola.

So, add your favorite toppings like raspberries, mini dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, or cashew butter to your matcha bowl and enjoy!
