Easy Creamy Collagen Iced Matcha Latte
An easy, creamy iced matcha latte that is made with simple ingredients in the blender for easy clean-up. This matcha latte is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up that you can make at home.
I used to think I didn’t like matcha, but I learned that, if you prepare it right, it tastes amazing. Matcha is great for when my anxiety creeps up and I need to reduce caffeine. However, those matcha lattes from cute coffee shops are filled with so much sugar! I wanted to create a healthy version of an iced matcha latte you can make at home.
There are so many fancy matcha lattes out there, and though I am all about romanticizing your life, this easy, creamy matcha latter is my go-to. It is simply delicious, and there aren’t any extra steps or dirty dishes. I like to enjoy my iced matcha latte in the sunshine with a protein bite for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up!
You will love Easy Creamy Collagen Iced Matcha Latte because:
- Easy to make
- Very little mess
- Perfect afternoon pick-me-up
- All the flavor without that extra sugar
- Can be vegan
Easy Creamy Collagen Iced Matcha Latte is made with:
- Matcha: more antioxidants than coffee, contains L-theanine that enhances focus and lowers stress, reduces inflammation
- Date: natural sugar that is high in fiber, antioxidants, and minerals
- Collagen peptides: healthy source of protein that may support skin, joints, and gut health
- Plant-based milk: you can use almond, cashew, coconut, or macadamia milk
Recipe Tips:
- *I like to add collagen peptides to my matcha latte but if you are vegan you can leave it out or add 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein for an added protein boost.
- Use high-quality matcha; low-quality matcha tastes like grass.
- I love Matcha Kari matcha powder. It is high quality, has no added sweeteners, and has the best flavor, use the code LAURAMATCHA for 20% off your first purchase.
- You can also substitute with canned coconut milk by using 1/4 canned coconut milk and 3/4 cup water.
- If your date is hard, you can soak it in hot water for 1 minute to soften.
