First thing in the morning, there’s nothing like holding a mug filled with a warm, delicious, and nourishing drink in your hands. This Hemp Matcha Latte contains 10 grams of protein and heaps of antioxidants. So you can enjoy a cozy tea and feel energized all at once. Victoria doesn’t drink caffeine, so you can follow her lead and go as light on the matcha as you want. A good-quality matcha is bright green and smooth. It will not taste bitter at all; there will be a slightly sweet taste. We like ceremonial-grade matcha. Here’s to your health!
8 oz. hot water
2 Tbsp. hemp seeds
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
¼ tsp. powdered matcha green tea
1 In a high-powered blender, pour the hot water, hemp seeds, maple syrup, and powdered matcha. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.
When blending hot liquids, use caution to avoid potentially dangerous pressure building up in your blender or food processor. Good safety techniques include blending in smaller batches, pausing every so often to lift the lid and release the steam, or using an immersion blender instead of a countertop blender.
