Frozen Dairy-free Matcha Latte, Paleo
We have happily hopped back on the matcha green tea train and we are SO excited about it. Why was we ever off the matcha train? Well, we wasn’t able to handle the taste until we were 17 weeks pregnant. We missed it terribly, but now that our morning sickness has ended, our taste buds are back to normal and our love for matcha is just as strong.
Which is where this Frozen Dairy-free Matcha Latte recipe comes in. 🙂
If you follow our stories on Instagram, or know us well, you’ll know that back when we came up with this Iced Almond Milk Matcha Latte, we were making the recipe EVERY SINGLE DAY.
And then BOOM, we got pregnant and our taste buds went crazy and we couldn’t handle matcha tea, coffee, honey, chocolate, fish… among a long list of other things.
We genuinely missed matcha tea, but we figured we should listen to our body and go with the flow.
Luckily that flow has come back full circle and we've been enjoying matcha again.
In the form of this Frozen Dairy-free Matcha Latte. It’s creamy, with a hint of sweetness and lots of wonderful matcha green tea flavor. It’s like our favorite breakfast slushy / frozen drink ever. It feels like we get to have dessert for breakfast and who doesn’t love dessert for breakfast?!
Especially when it is an antioxidant filled powerhouse, that boosts your metabolism and is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins.
Speaking of matcha, it’s really important to choose the right matcha green tea in your recipes because it makes such a big difference in the flavor!
We have always been very very picky when it comes to the matcha that we use. We have tried a countless amount of different brands and have only ever liked one up until this point.
However, we recently found a high quality new organic matcha green tea that we absolutely love. It’s produced by a company called Mocha ChaDao and the taste of it is just so vibrant and fresh!
You can see, feel and taste the quality here. The matcha is very soft and delicate in texture, it is bright green in color, it smells great, and of course tastes satisfying. Which makes us so happy!
Seriously, finding high quality satisfying products is one of our favorite things. That and finding hidden gem restaurants. Both make us very happy. 🙂
And we guess so does this Frozen Dairy-free Matcha Latte.
One pregnancy craving that we've had is really cold drinks. The colder the better.
This Frozen Dairy-free Matcha Latte has been clutch and we can’t stop making it now.
Hope you guys like it too!
