Morning cup of green tea? you just got a serious upgrade. a creamy, dreamy honey sweetened upgrade. bulletproof matcha latte style.
This green tea is much more than just a slightly caffeinated hot beverage to perk up your morning vibes – matcha, if you’ve never been acquainted, is the ground powder of a whole japanese tea leaf.
It’s been a daily part of the happy self routine that I’ve taken on, to help reset some of my morning habits, and boy is it delicious!
(please excuse the choppy nature of my FIRST EVER GIF!!!! I’m going to have to practice shots like that a few more times so you guys don’t get too dizzy!)
The instructions for making this dreamy bullet proof matcha latte are pretty basic. you just put everything in the blender and give it a good whirl until it’s fully blended and nice and frothy. the one ingredient that might vary according to your preference/what you have on hand is the pumpkin seed butter. it could be subbed out for another nut/seed butter of choice, or left out all together, or you could just start with a nut milk instead of water in the first place if you have some on hand. basically it’s addition acts as though you’re making the latte with a nut milk instead of hot water, and so will add an additional creamy factor. but since you’re already blending the matcha with coconut oil and butter, and those fats emulsify with the water, it will be creamy no matter which direction you go. in these photos I actually left out the pumpkin seed butter and as you can see it looks like it’s doing just fine without it 😉
Here’s a matcha latte cheers to you, friends! I hope you enjoy this warm, cozy beverage as much as I do.

Mmmm, exploring choices other than coffee lately and this is a winner! I tried it with macadamia milk-also a new fave- and MCT oil. I kept it dairy free with one of my favorite vegan butters made with mostly cashews for creaminess. Honey is the perfect sweetener for this matcha!Thanks Nyssa!

What kind of Matcha powder do you use?? I havnt been able to find any good ones.
Nyssa Tanner says
I have a few favorite brands. A ceremonial grade option will have the highest quality. They’re more expensive but worth it IMO! Brands I like are: Aiya, MatchaBar, Ippodo, and Pique tea. I also have more info on matcha in general in this blog post if you wanna check it out!
Happy sipping!! xo

First sip was Ehhhh… next was “hmmm” and the third and beyond were “Hey, this is pretty good”,
I used almond butter, and left out the honey ( I follow a keto diet). I also left out vanilla, because I used Perfect Keto Vanilla flavored MCT Powder”.
Now I am just wondering what the nutritional info is for this little jem. What is it for your version?
Nyssa Tanner says
