Begin by removing your cream cheese from the refrigerator and allowing it to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to soften.

In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese along with the matcha powder. If desired, add your chosen sweetener. Blend until smooth and uniform.

Taste the mixture and adjust the flavors if necessary by adding more matcha powder or sweetener, mixing thoroughly.

Serve immediately on bagels or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
