My Morning Matcha

This year, I’m making a conscious effort to lessen my coffee habit. It’s too difficult to cut it out entirely, but I’ve found matcha or cocoa (or BOTH!) to be a delicious and healthier alternative. This is the go-to recipe for my morning matcha latte, which doubles as an energy boost and a filling breakfast option.
