Dairy-Free, Protein-Rich "Magical" Matcha Tea Latte
A protein-rich matcha green tea latte without milk. It uses coconut oil and hemp hearts for froth & creaminess!
Ingredients
- 1-2 tsp ground matcha (powdered green tea)
- 2 tsp coconut oil and/or ghee, liquid or solid
- 2 Tbsp hemp hearts
- 1-3 tsp maple syrup, honey or other sweetener (recommended but optional – see notes)
- 8 oz. hot water
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend on high for a few minutes or until the hemp hearts are fully blended. Your latte will be frothy and ready to drink immediately.
Recipe Notes
I highly recommend a high-powered blender like a Vitamix in order to get the hemp hearts fully blended. Using a high-powered blender helps get this beverage to the right texture.
I normally use maple syrup as a sweetener because I find it helps offset matcha’s natural grassiness and/or bitterness, but you could absolutely leave it out for a sugar-free version.
Supplemental add-ins (all are optional)
1 tsp maca powder
1 Tbsp grass-fed collagen powder
1 serving of L-glutamine powder
I usually include all of the supplemental add-ins, except for the collagen (which varies based on my daily protein intake).
Please consult your health care provider to determine whether these supplements are appropriate for your individual condition.
