Why Make This Recipe?

Looking for a refreshing and nutritious pick-me-up? Our Blueberry Matcha Latte is the perfect blend of fruity, creamy, and energizing flavors.

This drink packs a nutritional punch!  It combines the antioxidant power of blueberries with the healthful benefits of matcha.  And then it's all wrapped up in the creamy goodness of JOI Cashew Milk. That translates to clean label, nutrient dense, delicious plant milk.

Why This Recipe is Easy

We love keeping things simple, and this recipe is no exception. With just a few steps, you can create a beautiful and delicious latte that's sure to impress.

All you need are fresh blueberries, matcha powder, and some JOI milk. No complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients here—just blend, mix, and pour!

Why Use JOI in This Recipe

JOI milk provides the perfect creamy topper for our Blueberry Matcha Latte. JOI milk adds a rich, nutty flavor, and it's incredibly nutritious.

JOI products are made from whole, natural ingredients, ensuring you get the best in every sip.

Plus, using JOI concentrates is better for the planet.  You're reducing food and packaging waste and improving your carbon footprint!

Health Benefits of Blueberries and Matcha

Blueberries: A Superfood Powerhouse

Blueberries are known for their high levels of antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. They are also rich in vitamins C and K, as well as fiber, making them a great addition to any diet. 

Matcha: The Green Tea Boost

Matcha is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins, which are known for their cancer-fighting properties. Matcha also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and helps improve focus. [Healthline](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/7-benefits-of-matcha-tea)

What is a Layered Drink?

Layered drinks are visually stunning and deliciously complex beverages that feature distinct layers of ingredients.

These drinks can be lattes, smoothies, or even cocktails, where each layer offers a unique flavor and/or texture.

The beauty of a layered drink lies in its presentation and the experience of tasting each component separately or blended together.

How to Create Layers

To create layers, start with the heaviest ingredient at the bottom and gradually add lighter ingredients on top.

For example, in our Blueberry Matcha Latte, the blueberry mixture forms the base, followed by ice, the matcha mixture, and finally, JOI Cashew or Almond Milk.

The key is to pour each layer slowly and gently to maintain separation.

Why a Layered Drink?

Layered drinks are all the rage!

Probably because they're so visually appealing.  (Perfect for impressing guests or elevating your everyday beverages.)

But also because they offer a unique taste experience. They allow you to enjoy a variety of flavors and textures in one drink. 

Will you sip layer by layer?  Top to bottom or bottom to top?  Or will you stir it all together?  

Substitutions and Customizations for This Recipe

One of the best things about our Blueberry Matcha Latte is how adaptable it is. Here are some easy substitutions and customizations you can try:

Sweetener Swap: Use agave syrup, coconut sugar, or your favorite sweetener instead of maple syrup or honey.
Berry Mix Up: Substitute blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
Matcha Intensity: Adjust the amount of matcha powder to suit your taste. Start with 1/2 teaspoon if you prefer a milder flavor, or go up to 1 1/2 teaspoons for a stronger kick.
Milk Variety: Experiment with different JOI products such as hemp or oat to give it a different twist.
