There’s nothing better than soaking up the sun while sipping on a tasty afternoon drink! This Strawberry-Lime Iced Matcha Latte is as refreshing as it gets!

Not gonna lie, it took me a minute to get around to liking matcha. It definitely wasn’t the matcha’s fault, let me be clear.

I was doing something wrong and I’ve lost countless matcha-loving years to my stupidity. FIGURES. The important thing is that I’m on the bandwagon and I’m not getting off, thanks to this Strawberry-Lime Iced Matcha Latte.

While I’m not planning on giving up coffee anytime soon, sometimes it’s nice to have something a little lighter and fruity for an afternoon pick-me-up. The flavor is so so delightful, I can definitely see myself craving these often.

It reminds me of a healthy liquid bowl of fruit loops! Thankfully, I always have everything I need for one on-hand.

Ingredients & Subs

• Matcha — While this is the main ingredient in the latte, you can also add in extra superfood power by subbing some of the matcha for ashwagandha or maca powder! 

• Oat milk — Any non-dairy milk (or cow’s milk) would work! I like coconut milk for this as well! 

• Maple syrup — Honey would work great as well if you’re not vegan!

• Freeze-dried strawberry — Here’s where you could have some fun! Blueberry is SO fantastic here but play around with different freeze-dried fruits that you like! 
• Coconut Sugar — I used this to avoid using refined sugar, but you could definitely do that as well or even brown sugar or stevia! If you do use stevia, I would use half the amount as it’s quite a bit sweeter.

How to store

I recommend eating right away, but you can make a big batch of the strawberry sugar to keep on hand for up to a week if you like! 

Hot Tip

You can find freeze-dried fruit where you would find regular dried fruit in the grocery store! Trader Joes and Target always have a great selection and price point, but you can get it at any store!

Freeze-dried fruit is unique because the fruit undergoes sublimation, in which frozen water is evaporated directly from ice to water vapor, removing 99% of moisture from the fruit, without ever having to enter a liquid phase.

It’s very nutritionally dense AND has a very long shelf life! Norah loves munching on bananas and strawberries and they’re great for adding a flavor punch to smoothies or baked goods!
