SPIRULINA ICED MATCHA LATTE WITH CREAMY HONEY CASHEW MILK
Yes, matcha and spirulina are two nutritional powerhouses, and I love to make this drink whenever I’m looking for something extra special and delicious to sip on!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
Cashew Milk:
- 1 ½ cups soaked raw cashews (soaked at least 4 hours or up to overnight)
- 7 cups water
- ¼ cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Spirulina Matcha:
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (I used Pique Life matcha)
- 2 ounces water
- ½ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (I used Kos)
- ½ cup cashew milk (divided)
Instructions
Make the Cashew Milk:
- Add your raw cashews to an airtight container and cover with water.
- Soak overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Once soaked, strain your cashews and rinse until the water runs clear.
- Add the soaked cashews, water, coconut cream, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a high-speed blender and blend for 2 minutes until frothy.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
Make the Latte:
- Whisk together the matcha and 2 ounces of water.
- Take your serving glass, add ice, and pour the matcha on top. Add 1/4 cup of cashew milk, or to taste.
- In a separate glass, whisk together 1/4 cup cashew milk and spirulina. Pour over the matcha. Enjoy!
Notes
The above recipe is for a full batch of Cashew milk so you will have leftovers. Use it in other latte recipes, blend into smoothies, stir into overnight oats, or add it to my Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Quinoa Porridge for a nutty flavor.
If you’d prefer not to make your own nut milk, that’s fine! You may want to add a touch of honey to your latte to balance out the flavors.
I haven’t tried this as a hot latte because I tend to prefer iced matcha lattes.
