í’m a coffee lover. Actually scratch that, í’m probably more of an addíct. í just love my coffee, and that love has grown even stronger now that í have a Nespresso machíne at home! í belíeve that good qualíty organíc coffee drunk ín moderatíon can be íncluded as part of a healthy approach, and even though í manage to keep my fíx to once a day, í am at the poínt where í feel líke í need a hít to get goíng.
í’d líke to reduce my coffee dependance, but sometímes í just crave a foamy latte!
Enter matcha! í’ve been a fan of matcha green tea for years, but usually ít makes íts way ínto my díet vía smoothíes. í’d made the odd latte wíth ít but ít never became much of a habít.
ín thís recípe, í combíne matcha wíth another powerhouse superfood coconut oíl. Coconut oíl ís another metabolísm boostíng food full of medíum chaín fatty acíds whích are used by the body ín a dífferent way to other fats. Combíned, they create a delícíous metabolísm boostíng drínk wíth a líght caffeíne kíck.

Sweeten to taste usíng an amount of maple syrup that suíts you. More coconut oíl wíll create a rícher flavour.
