My latest obsession is matcha green tea powder. In today's post I'll be showing you how I use it to make an iced latte. It's also great for hot lattes but I usually prefer iced especially now that it's practically summer. I like drinking it alongside my breakfast to help me kick start my mornings. Not only is it a great coffee replacement because it contains caffeine but it's also jam-packed with antioxidants! Antioxidants are what our bodies use to help fight off free radicals - molecules that age and damage our cells. One benefit that I've already noticed from taking matcha is that it keeps me feeling fuller for longer. That way I don't feel like snacking throughout the whole day.
These measurements are approximate as I tend to not measure anything.
1/4 cup hot water (not boiling because you can burn the matcha which makes it bitter)
3/4 cups almond milk (coconut milk is great too!)
ice cubes
honey to taste
milk frother - here is one but ikea makes the best one for under $3! (to dissolve and blend the matcha powder)
Step 1: Mix the matcha powder into the hot water
Step 2: Use the frother to blend it up and get rid of clumps. If you don't have a frother a blender works just as good to mix it all up.
Step 3: Sweeten with honey or your favorite sweetener.
Step 4: Fill up with your glass with almond milk and ice cubes.
Step 5: Add a cute straw, stir and enjoy!!

Thursdays plans: Enjoy breakfast, read my new books, shower, get ready + makeup, go to an appointment, eat lunch, relax at home, and hope some exciting packages get here. This cold weather has me feeling so unmotivated so I'm hoping that a little bit of reading will help with that! The books I'm reading are: How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie, #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso, and Capture Your Style by Aimee Song. I started reading girl boss about a year ago and still haven't finished it! It's not that it's not good because it is but I'm so bad at finishing books! Anyone else have the same problem? Please tell me I'm not the only one haha! THIS is a book I actually finished and 100% recommend to any of you creatives out there! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy your Thursday :)
