How to make a latte healthy

Since we’ve been on a healthy-eating streak so far in 2019, I’ve been looking for ways to enjoy some of my favourite treats minus all the fat and calories in coffee shop lattes. I absolutely LOVE a good Starbucks Matcha Latte, but did you know that the Matcha flavour comes from a Matcha-infused sugar syrup!?!? At least in this part of the world it’s impossible to order a Matcha latte that’s low in sugar, so of course I had to come up with a homemade version that would rival my favourite from Starbucks. Swapping out the sugary syrup for an all natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup or agave nectar is the best place to start because those sweeteners add both sweetness AND flavour (my personal favourite is honey for the flavour)! Use your favourite low fat dairy milk or even your favourite non-dairy milk (light coconut milk is my favourite!) to make it vegan and dairy-free.

How to make a Matcha Latte

Simply heat your choice of milk over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, adding your choice of sweetener and vanilla. Add the matcha powder straight to the milk, OR dilute it in a few tablespoons of boiling water in the bottom of your mug and pour the hot milk overtop. It’s quick to make, totally delicious, and you’ll be able to skip the Starbucks line!
