Super Food Iced Matcha Latte

Matcha! It’s just my favorite morning beverage! It’s brimming with antioxidants and doesn’t leave me jittery + dehydrated like another popular morning beverage. . . !
If you’re not familiar with matcha it’s just the green tea leaf in powder form — so you’re essentially consuming the whole leaf as opposed to steeping it. It’s got over double the amount of antioxidants as green tea and is amazing for lowering inflammation and burning fat.
Swap your morning coffee for this iced matcha latte and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how delicious it is with just the right amount of caffeine. To make this latte, simply blend your favorite non-dairy milk, canned coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. To make this super food supercharged we add a bit of ashwaganda, a powerful adaptogen that can help you deal with stress and hormonal imbalances. When serving this latte it’s SUPER important to serve over lots of ice for best results!
And all my meal prepping friends, feel free to triple or quadruple this recipe and keep it in the fridge for busy mornings.
