Golden Strawberry Matcha
Matcha lovers, this one is for you! I partnered with the mock-tail queen, Blair from @holisticrendezvous for this one. From start to finish this matcha latte is luscious, creamy, sweet and perfectly spiced. The cashew milk is homemade with golden milk spices and it’s paired with strawberry jam. You can double this matcha as a golden milk recipe and a low waste hack for the end of a jam jar (perfect for earth month!).
If you have morning anxiety and are usually a coffee drinker, I would hop over to the matcha side for this one to see if it will help you kick your morning or mid-day anxiety to the curb. Matcha has L-theanine in it which is an amino acid that helps the caffeine have a more “slow roll” and long lasting effect rather than the rollercoaster of coffee. This is also paired with the golden milk which is anti-inflammatory so it’s perfect for your luteal phase or if you just need a little extra TLC to start the day. This recipe makes either 2 8oz matches or a giant 16oz for those mornings you need a little extra kick.
This iced matcha latte is:
sweet and delicious
filled with natural antioxidants
made in under 10 minutes
made with homemade cashew milk (two recipes in one!)
dairy free and refined sugar free
the perfect morning pick me up
