Matcha latte has taken over the social media - especially Instagram. Most of the recipes that I've seen use only 3 ingredients: almond milk, matcha and sweetener. To make it more suitable for the ketogenic diet, I prepare my matcha latte with coconut milk and a tablespoon of either coconut oil, MCT oil or Brain Octane oil - in a similar way that you would prepare Bulletproof coffee.
While matcha is very high in antioxidants and mind-calming amino acid (L-theanine), coconut milk and oil both provide a quick source of energy. Enjoy a cup for breakfast, afternoon snack or on a fat fast - it's a liquid fat bomb with 94% of calories from healthy fats.
Speaking of fat bombs, many thanks to Amy Berger of Tuit Nutrition for her review of my latest Fat Bombs Book!

Instructions
- First, you need to mix the matcha powder in hot water. You can use a bamboo whisk or a frappe maker/ milk frother.

- To make the coconut milk froth, I used a milk frother. Apart from using a milk frother, I described other methods for frothing in my Low-Carb Cappuccino recipe.
Pour the frothy coconut milk in the glass with matcha. Optionally, sprinkle with more matcha powder, vanilla bean powder or cinnamon, and add your favourite low-carb sweetener or some Homemade Sugar-Free Honey.
Enjoy hot or let it cool down and add a few ice cubes :-)

Bulletproof Matcha Latte
Ingredients (makes 1 serving)
- 1/2 cup boiling water (120 ml)
- 1/2 - 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1/3 cup Aroy-D coconut milk (80 ml)
- 1 tbsp Brain Octane Oil or MCT oil or extra virgin coconut oil
- Optional: 1-3 drops liquid Stevia or 1-2 tsp Erythritol or Swerve or 1 tsp Homemade Sugar-free Honey
Tips:
- If you are new to matcha, start with just 1/2 tsp matcha powder and add more to taste.
- Make sure you use liquid coconut milk like Aroy-D, do not not use coconut cream or creamed coconut milk.
- Avoid using coconut oil if making ice latte - coconut oil will solidify in cold drinks.
