How to Make Keto Matcha Latte

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• • 1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup hot water (not boiling)
  • 1 tsp Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 tsp MCT oil or grass-fed butter (optional but ideal for keto)
  • A few drops of liquid Stevia (optional, to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Warm the Milk

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of coconut or almond milk over medium-high heat. Once it starts to simmer (not boil), remove it from the heat.

Step 2: Whisk the Matcha

In your Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher, add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and pour in ½ cup of hot water. Use a Zulay Milk Frother to whisk it into a smooth mixture with no clumps. This step is crucial—no one wants gritty matcha!

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

Add the warmed milk to the pitcher with the matcha mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder and 1 teaspoon of MCT oil or grass-fed butter if using.

Step 4: Froth to Perfection

Use the frother again to blend until the mixture is frothy and creamy. This gives your latte that irresistible coffee shop texture.

Step 5: Sweeten (Optional)

Add a few drops of liquid Stevia if you prefer a sweeter sip. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately!

Tips & Twists to Try for Keto Matcha Latte

• Swap the base. If you’re avoiding coconut, almond milk is a great alternative. For extra creaminess, try macadamia nut milk or a homemade nut blend.
• Add collagen peptides. Stir in a scoop of unflavored collagen to boost protein and support joint health.
• Make it iced. Chill your matcha mixture and serve over ice for a refreshing summer twist.

Is Keto Matcha Latte Good For You

Yes, a Keto Matcha Latte is good for you, especially if you're following a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle. It offers a clean, sustained energy boost without the typical crash thanks to L-theanine in matcha, which promotes calm focus while balancing caffeine’s effects. This vibrant green tea is also rich in antioxidants like EGCG that support immunity and cellular health. When paired with MCT oil or grass-fed butter, it becomes a high-fat, keto-friendly fuel that helps curb cravings and power your day. Plus, ingredients like coconut milk add digestive benefits through lauric acid, making this latte both nourishing and satisfying.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Recipe

What’s the difference between matcha and green tea?

Matcha is made from whole tea leaves ground into a fine powder, whereas green tea is steeped from leaves. This means matcha provides a higher concentration of nutrients and caffeine. Because you're consuming the entire leaf, you're getting more antioxidants, especially EGCG, and more fiber and chlorophyll. The result is a richer taste and a greaterhealth benefit per cup.

Is this recipe good for intermittent fasting?

Yes, the Keto Matcha Latte can be enjoyed during intermittent fasting, especially if you make it with MCT oil or grass-fed butter and skip sweeteners. The fat content can help extend the fasting window by curbing hunger and providing fuel. 

Can I use a different sweetener besides stevia?

Absolutely. While liquid stevia is a keto-friendly choice, you can substitute it with monk fruit drops, erythritol, or even skip the sweetener entirely. If you're not strictly keto, a touch of honey or maple syrup also works beautifully, but be mindful of the sugar content.

What if I don’t have a milk frother?

You can vigorously whisk your latte with a small wire whisk, shake it in a mason jar with a tight lid, or use a blender for an ultra-smooth texture. 

Is it safe to drink matcha every day?

Yes, matcha is safe for daily consumption when enjoyed in moderation, generally 1–2 servings per day. Because it's potent in antioxidants and contains a moderate amount of caffeine, it can support long-term wellness. Just be sure to use high-quality organic matcha to avoid any contaminants and enjoy its full benefits.

Can I make this matcha latte ahead of time?

You can prep your Keto Matcha Latte in advance by combining all ingredients and storing it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. But for the best froth and flavor, it's recommended to make it fresh. 

What kind of matcha should I buy?

Always opt for a ceremonial grade or organic matcha powder for the best flavor and highest nutritional content. Culinary matcha is cheaper and fine for baking but can taste bitter in drinks. Look for a bright green color, fine texture, and a slightly sweet, grassy aroma.
