If you are a fan of the coffee shop or cafe experience, but not so much the coffee, there are many different latte variations you might enjoy trying. Some even have little to no caffeine making them a delicious alternative to coffee. Keep reading for a short list of some of our favorite beverages without the coffee.

Golden Milk Latte

Golden Milk lattes or turmeric lattes are a delicious and festive blend of turmeric, cinnimon, and hot milk of choice. The latte is comforting and has many known health benefits including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The beverage is easy to make at home as well and is best served hot.

Matcha Lattes

Matcha has taken the cafe world by storm and with good reason. The Japanese green tea is excellent served hot or iced with your favorite milk and has many proven health benefits like antioxidant properties. Matcha also has a decent amount of caffeine in it, if you’re looking for a less caffeinated option.

Chai Lattes

Chai lattes are another staple in many coffee shops for their aromatic, warm, and comforting flavors. Many are made with cardamon and cinnamon and a homemade blend is even better. Most coffee shops will offer their own variations of the beverage, and some may mix it with matcha or an espresso shot to make dirty chais!

Matcha, a strong powdered version of green tea that originated in Japan, is a very popular flavor around the world. It’s used to flavor not only beverages but also a wide range of sweets and candy in Japan—which you can usually find in your local East Asian food store. If you’ve been eager to try some matcha-flavored treats, here are some to start with.

Macarons

Macarons come in tons of different flavors, which make it a great way to start with trying new something new. Matcha flavored macarons will give you a good sense of how green tea powder can work well in desserts.

Matcha KitKat

There are tons of different KitKat flavors, and one of the best is matcha flavored. It may sound a bit unusual, but this treat is a unique little snack and arguably even yummier than a classic KitKat.

Matcha Mochi

If you’re into Japanese or Asian sweets at all, then you probably have tried mochi—the soft, stretchy, chewy treat made from glutinous rice flour. It’s often filled with interesting flavorings like red bean paste, tarot paste, and of course, matcha. Matcha green tea is a classic mochi flavor. And if you haven’t tried mochi yet, then we recommend you trying matcha flavored.

It might seem difficult to believe, but not everyone is a coffee drinker! There are millions of people who are looking for a boost every morning but simply cannot get themselves to enjoy coffee, either for dietary reasons or simply because of its taste.

Fortunately, java isn’t your only option if you want to get your day started off on the right foot. Here are some other fantastic options that you can try!

Matcha Tea

Matcha Tea, a variety of green tea that is made by taking young green tea leaves and grinding them into an antioxidant-rich powder and some caffeine, is a popular and trending choice nowadays. It’ll give you both a health and attention boost in the morning.

Coconut Water

Did you know that it’s very easy to become dehydrated and lose lots of electrolytes overnight? During the 7-8 hours that the typical person sleeps per night, your body doesn’t consume any liquids and needs more when you wake up in the morning. Coconut water will give you a boost of both electrolytes and water to get your body up to speed.

Mate

Mate is a popular drink in South America and is even more popular than coffee and tea in countries like Argentina and Uruguay. Why? This infusion drink gives you a boost in concentration and will have you focused and working great when you arrive at your job in the morning.

Do you like matcha (or green tea) and milkshakes? If so, I think I have the perfect recipe for you.

Matcha powder is essentially a concentrated form of the leaves used to make green tea. It has excellent health benefits, including a chockload of healthy antioxidants.

It can be combined with ice cream and milk to make a delicious milkshake that tastes delicious and raises your body’s defenses.

Here’s how to make your own matcha milkshake.

Ingredients

  • 200 g vanilla bean ice cream
  • ½ cup whole or semi-skim milk (not skim!)
  • 1 tablespoon green tea matcha powder
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

Start off by pulling out your blender. You’ll want to be sure to plug it in and have it ready in order to blend your milkshake together.

The next step is to remove 200 g of vanilla bean ice cream from the container and place it inside of the blender. Your milkshake will blend easier if you leave it sitting out for a few minutes so that it softens slightly.

Next, add the milk, the matcha powder, and the honey to the blender. Place the lid on top of the container and blend on high for 20-30 seconds.

That’s it! Your matcha milkshake is ready to enjoy. That was easy, wasn’t it?

#matcha is already trending and is all over the Social Media with its popular Instagram hashtag. For those who don’t know it yet, it’s now the time to try it. Matcha is a finely ground powder of grown and processed green tea leaves. It’s more like a Japanese-style green tea and is now one of the most ordered drink in cafés. It can come as a green tea, in a latte or in a smoothie. You can also find it in different kind of foods, such as in mochi’s, muffins or energy bites.

Matcha offers many health benefits and is also associated with ‘Zen’. One of the main reasons Matcha became so popular is because meditation is now mainstream.

Matcha tea is an easy and convenient way to add powerful health benefits to your daily diet. It is an antioxidant powerhouse and has more antioxidants than any other ‘superfood’. Besides boosting your metabolism and being a great aid for losing weight, Matcha also calms the mind and relaxes the body. This leads as a result to enhancing your mood and helps you in concentrating. Great no?

But, Matcha is even more than this! It is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins, which prevents you from different diseases.

Do you have a high cholesterol? And how about your blood sugar? Matcha is the solution for this as well.

Matcha is a healthy and tasty superfood that can be added to most of your foods.

Yes, matcha is one of the most popular drinks that everyone is talking about! We found one that’s even better and tastier, just in time for summer. This iced matcha horchata is officially the drink of your dreams. It’s so easy to make and will help you go through the heat with ease.

Ingredients

  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/3 cup uncooked white rice
  • 5 cups hot water (it shouldn’t be boiling)
  • 1/3 c coconut flakes
  • 1/3 c cashews
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder for 8 oz horchata.

Instructions

Start by adding the cinnamon and rice into the hot water for 8 to 10 hours. Leave the bowl in the fridge.

When the time is up, add this mixture to a blender and include the coconut flakes and cashews as well. Pulse for a few minutes until the drink gets a creamy texture.

Get a strainer and pour the liquid over it. Discard whatever’s left on the strainer.

Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 cup canned coconut milk to the liquid.

Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour the drink over it. The last step is to add 1 teaspoon matcha powder.

Do you like matcha (or green tea) and milkshakes? If so, I think I have the perfect recipe for you.

Matcha powder is essentially a concentrated form of the leaves used to make green tea. It has excellent health benefits, including a chockload of healthy antioxidants.

It can be combined with ice cream and milk to make a delicious milkshake that tastes delicious and raises your body’s defenses.

Here’s how to make your own matcha milkshake.

Ingredients

  • 200 g vanilla bean ice cream
  • ½ cup whole or semi-skim milk (not skim!)
  • 1 tablespoon green tea matcha powder
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

Start off by pulling out your blender. You’ll want to be sure to plug it in and have it ready in order to blend your milkshake together.

The next step is to remove 200 g of vanilla bean ice cream from the container and place it inside of the blender. Your milkshake will blend easier if you leave it sitting out for a few minutes so that it softens slightly.

That’s it! Your matcha milkshake is ready to enjoy. That was easy, wasn’t it?

#matcha is already trending and is all over the Social Media with its popular Instagram hashtag. For those who don’t know it yet, it’s now the time to try it. Matcha is a finely ground powder of grown and processed green tea leaves. It’s more like a Japanese-style green tea and is now one of the most ordered drink in cafés. It can come as a green tea, in a latte or in a smoothie. You can also find it in different kind of foods, such as in mochi’s, muffins or energy bites.

Matcha offers many health benefits and is also associated with ‘Zen’. One of the main reasons Matcha became so popular is because meditation is now mainstream.

Matcha tea is an easy and convenient way to add powerful health benefits to your daily diet. It is an antioxidant powerhouse and has more antioxidants than any other ‘superfood’. Besides boosting your metabolism and being a great aid for losing weight, Matcha also calms the mind and relaxes the body. This leads as a result to enhancing your mood and helps you in concentrating. Great no?

But, Matcha is even more than this! It is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins, which prevents you from different diseases.

Do you have a high cholesterol? And how about your blood sugar? Matcha is the solution for this as well.

Matcha is a healthy and tasty superfood that can be added to most of your foods.
