Recipe: My Protein-Packed Bulletproof Matcha Latte
Recipe: My Protein-Packed Bulletproof Matcha Latte
Every morning, on repeat.
Years ago, I began drinking Bulletproof Coffee before breakfast every single morning. It’s creamy and delicious, makes me less jittery from the caffeine, and gets things moving (okay, but see warning in this post).
I recently cut back on my morning coffee habit, after learning that coffee may disrupt hormones. This is not meant to replace advice from a doctor, and I have no miraculous recovery to report, but I’ve started swapping out my daily bulletproof coffee with a fairly high-calorie, protein and fat-rich matcha version and it so delicious. And, thanks to the protein, it keeps me totally sated until lunch when paired with my go-to breakfast of eggs with sautéed spinach. If I still need coffee, I’ll have it later in the day. But first, matcha.
You will need:
1-2 teaspoons matcha powder (I used Costco’s, but you could use something higher-quality if preferred)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use and love this one)
1 tablespoon MCT oil (work your way up, begin with a teaspoon and add little by little each day)
1 teaspoon high-quality ghee
How to make it:
Bring water to 175° F, or just under a boil, then add all ingredients to a large mug (around 10 ounces).
Once heated, add the water slowly to the mug, while blending with an immersion blender. Be careful not to blend too much as you add, or your brew will slosh over the sides of the mug. The end result should be delicious and creamy. Enjoy!
