KETO RECIPE: Iced Matcha Latte
I love Tenzo matcha because it is packed to the brim with antioxidants and making it at home ensures that there aren’t any additives, preservatives, or unnecessary sugars. Tenzo is the highest quality matcha for less than $1 / serving so it’s way more affordable than going to Starbucks every day, so I love adding it to lattes, tea, smoothies and more. Did you know that the matcha powder they use at Starbucks and every other coffee shop all has sugar added to it?! A lot of sugar actually… so Tenzo has become my go to because it has 0g of sugar! It is also organic, vegan, paleo, kosher and gluten free.

Here’s how I like to make my Iced Matcha Lattes!
6 oz of milk (I use unsweetened almond milk, you can use any milk you like)
1 tsp Tenzo Tea matcha powder
Liquid sweetener to taste (lately I’ve been using this one by Pyure, just a couple drops) or Choc Zero sugar free syrup in Vanilla
2 oz hot water
Then you’ll need either a bamboo whisk or a shaker bottle. If you get the Tenzo Matcha Starter Kit it comes with the bamboo whisk, whisk stand and scooper which is amazing! That’s where I got mine. But a cocktail shaker also works!
Whisk 1 teaspoon of Tenzo Matcha Green Tea with 2 oz of hot (but not boiling) water to make a green tea shot.
Once the matcha powder and water are completely blended, add the sweetener and whisk again thoroughly until it completely dissolves.
Pour milk over over ice, in a tall glass.
Pour the matcha shot mixture into the glass of milk.
Stir well and enjoy!

Tenzo has a couple different starter kits available, as well as just the matcha powder individually if you’re already a pro! Just look at all of these amazing benefits:
The Power of Green Tea Antioxidants: Matcha is loaded with a rare and powerful group of natural polyphenol antioxidants called Catechins that work to prevent oxidative damage to cells and reduce your risk of cancer according to the National Cancer Institute, the catechins in Matcha green tea are so powerful that they may actually reduce the risk of cancer, making Matcha green tea one of the top natural cancer treatment options out there.
Matcha Improves Your Skin: Green Tea improves your skin complexion and makes your skin healthy. The antioxidants in green tea neutralize free radicals in the skin and fight signs of aging (sagging, sun damage, and wrinkles) while also reducing swelling and puffiness.
Energy! Tenzo’s matcha green tea will provide you with 36mg of caffeine per serving. 72mg of caffeine for every 1 level teaspoon of powder that you use. Matcha is perfect if you are looking for an extended 4-6 hour energy boost to focus and be productive. There are no jitters, spikes or headaches like you might have experienced previously with coffee. And the best part is, if you’re looking for a larger energy boost, all you have to do is use more Matcha!
Matcha Supports Weight Loss: The antioxidants and caffeine in Matcha work together to boost daily metabolism and increase the rate at which the body utilizes fat as an energy source. Drink Matcha daily to pick the lock on those hard to reach fat cells and burn more calories during your next workout.
The Benefits of Chlorophyll: The process of controlling the light and shading the Matcha green tea leaves during the last few weeks of the growing cycle has an extraordinary impact on the chlorophyll levels. Chlorophyll is known to be a great detoxifier because of its ability to naturally eliminate chemicals and heavy metals from the body.
