Is it Friday yet? Sometimes I wake up in the morning and think that it is a totally different day then it is - works out ok when I wake up thinking it is Wednesday but it is really Friday but not so good when it is Tuesday and I think it should be Friday...if you know what I mean. I feel like I'm relying a little too much on caffeine to get me through the day and I'm really trying to swap out my coffee for matcha to see if it helps get me through the hump. I'm a huge fan of Mocha Lattes so now I'm graduating to the Chocolate Matcha Latte. If you like super sweet drinks, this isn't the one for you but if you like matcha you should totally give this a shot. While my easy recipe doesn't call for added sugar or sweeteners you can easily add a bit if you prefer.
Making this chocolate matcha latte in the blender is so easy. Just toss the ingredients in and blend away using the soup function if you have it. If not, you can try variable speed. Once done, pour into a mug and watch the layers form. First layer is matcha, followed by a cocoa layer topped with a frothy milk layer. No fancy pouring required.
Never thought I'd give up my morning coffee and I'm certainly not giving it up forever but it sure is nice to have a viable alternative to get me moving in the morning. Variety is the spice of life (and all that!).
