Keto Matcha Latte

This keto matcha latte is creamy, vibrant, and packed with antioxidants. I love how it blends the earthy flavor of matcha with rich creaminess, making it both energizing and satisfying. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for mornings or afternoons when I want a gentle boost without the crash.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s quick to make and feels like a café-style drink at home. The matcha gives me calm, steady energy, while the heavy cream or coconut cream keeps it filling and keto-friendly. I also enjoy how easily I can adjust the sweetness and richness to suit my mood.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Matcha Powder
3 tablespoons Lukewarm Water
2-3 teaspoons Granulated Sweetener or 1-2 drops of liquid stevia
⅓ cup Heavy Cream or full-fat coconut cream
¾ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. I start by whisking the matcha powder with lukewarm water until smooth and free of lumps.
2. I heat the almond milk and heavy cream (or coconut cream) together in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
3. I whisk in the sweetener until dissolved.
4. I pour the hot milk mixture into a blender with the prepared matcha, then blend until frothy.
5. I pour into a mug and enjoy immediately.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 1 serving. It takes about 5 minutes in total, with just a couple of minutes for whisking and heating.

Variations

I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor. If I want a more decadent version, I use more cream and less almond milk. For an iced version, I pour the blended latte over ice instead of serving it hot.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer to drink this fresh for the best froth and flavor. If I have leftovers, I store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours and reheat gently on the stove while whisking to bring back some of the frothiness.
