My afternoon pick me up was something I had never made before, an iced matcha green tea latte.
For my milk base I used 1 cup unsweetened toasted coconut almond milk, 1 tsp maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp vanilla.
For the tea part I used 2 tsp matcha powder, and 2 tbsp hot water.
To prevent it from clumping I mixed the matcha with the water using a frother from ikea, and then used the frother to froth the milk as well (duh). I poured the tea over ice and poured the milk on top.
The verdict?
It was alright. There were a few things that were off. First, it had a very chalky taste. Second, the coconut milk was too over powering, next time I will try using cashew milk. And third, it needed to be a little bit more sweeter.
I also wanted to add that I started a new job not too long ago, and I looked like a total kook making this drink and taking pictures in the lunch room.

I was STARVING when I got home from work!!! So I prepared a little snack. Lettuce with guacamole and hemp seeds sprinkled on top, rolled into a taquito. SO GOOD!!!!!!
For dinner I just grabbed a bunch of stuff out of the fridge and mixed it together in a skillet.
Dinner - Ground bison, 1/2 onion diced, 8 cloves garlic minced, 1/2 kombucha squash diced, 1/2 red bell pepper diced, a pack of sliced mushrooms, 1 zuchinni sliced, balsamic vinegar, and garden gems seasoning, and masa de malageta (chili pepper paste). Served with olives, jalapeños, and diced avocado and a drizzle of avocado.
Snacks - A few macadamia nuts. I also tried eating a papaya... Let me explain, I don't like papaya but a lot of the youtube people I watch seem to love the stuff, so I decided to give it another try. AND I still think its gross, it smells weird and leaves this nasty after taste of stinky feet in my mouth. Bleh!
