These healthy vegan mint matcha lattes offer a delightfully minty pick-me-up, making them perfect for sipping first thing in the morning or in the afternoon.
After posting my YouTube video about matcha tea and how super-crazy healthy it is, I had a handful of people tell me that they just aren’t fans of how matcha green tea tastes. After hearing this a few times, it was clear that a delicious tasting, spruced up version of this beverage was needed. Therefore, allow me to introduce you to my recipe for Mint Matcha Lattes!
Why this Recipe Works:
- This creamy and slightly sweet latte will give you a steady caffeine boost without the jitters.
- The refreshing mint and rich maple syrup in the recipe really help mellow out that strong green tea taste.
- This recipe includes fresh spinach. The spinach not only makes the drink a nice bright green color, but it also adds even MORE nutrients to the mix. Don’t worry – you can’t taste it!
Why matcha green tea is one of the healthiest foods on the planet:
- This minimally processed powdered version of green tea is extremely high in nutrients. So much so, that it is said to offer FIVE TIMES more disease-fighting antioxidants than any other tea or beverage on the planet!
- Matcha is a no-jitter version of caffeine that creates “a calm sense of heightened alertness and presence of mind.” For this reason, Japanese Zen Buddhist Monks drink matcha green tea before meditating.
- Studies show that matcha green tea may boost your metabolism, thus enhancing weight loss. (Especially when consumed before exercising!)

I love this. So warm and yet refreshing because of the mint. I need to use my blender more like your Audrey because I ended up with fine pieces of mint and spinach. Thank you for a great cozy “me time” beverage.❤️
