Matcha Latte

February 7, 2018 By melanierobinson 2 Comments


Most mornings come way to early for this mama. I have always been someone who prioritizes sleep. For my 27th birthday, we had a dance party in my house. It was EPIC. We had a friend DJ, we had a smoke machine, and, best yet, it was 80’s themed. Well, we danced our hearts out until I shut the party down at 11pm. And this was BEFORE I had kids. So yeah, sleep and I are kind of best friends. 

Even with all that sleep, I still hate the morning. I wake up groggy, and usually want to just lay down and slowly wake up. With kids, this is no longer an option. My 4 year old turns my light on in my room when she comes in and I have no choice but to get up and GO GO GO. 

Matcha makes mornings more tolerable. Between a matcha latte and my dandy blend latte, I always have a warm drink to make my morning feel cozy. Always living that hygge life. 


Here are some matcha highlights:

Matcha offers the same type of energy as caffeine. The difference is that with matcha, it is a calm, steady energy over a longer period of time without the jitters!


-Matcha contains chlorophyll which is known to aid in liver detoxification and is a powerful antioxidant
-Matcha contains the amino acid L-theanine, which is helpful for stress
-Matcha is also known for containing the antioxidant EGCG, which helps to scavenge free radicals in your body

Take a look at easy this latte comes together!

I hope you enjoy this warming and delicious homemade matcha latte!

    I have been trying to find a way to drink matcha for a loooong time. I resigned to it not being my jam. But this. 😍 You nailed it, Melly!! I added pumpkin butter and 1/2 tsp of the alcohol free vanilla. So good!! This recipe is for sure a keeper. ❤️
