Matcha exploded on our Instagram feeds last year, popping up in
everything from lattes, to face masks, to cocktails. The madness doesn’t show signs of slowing down, either. In this vanilla almond bulletproof matcha latte, we blended the brain-boosting power of matcha with MCT oil for a warm morning drink that provides sustained energy levels and works to burn fat throughout the day.Unlike traditional green tea where the leaves are steeped in hot water and discarded, matcha leaves are ground into a fine, bright green powder and deliver a greater amount of antioxidants. While matcha does contain caffeine, it also has a compound called L-theanin, which promotes a calm alertness and tempers the energy crash that often follows a cup of coffee.
Vanilla Almond MCT Matcha Latte
Serves 1
Ingredients:
12 ounces unsweetened plain almond milk
1 teaspoon matcha powder
1 teaspoon MCT oil
1 tablespoon tocos powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon coconut palm nectar or sugar
Directions:
Warm 12 ounces of almond milk on the stove over medium-low heat, but don’t boil. Remove from heat when tiny bubbles appear along the edges of the pot.
Pour the almond milk into a blender and add the matcha, MCT oil, tocos powder (if using), and vanilla extract.
Blend on medium-high for a minute to emulsify and fully incorporate the matcha powder into the almond milk.
Taste your matcha latte and add ½ teaspoon of coconut palm syrup if you want a sweeter drink. If you add sweetener, blend again for a few seconds and then pour your matcha latte into a mug.
