Though I’m usually team coffee all the way (check out this protein coffee fudge and this protein coffee smoothie bowl), there’s something incredibly soothing about swapping espresso for matcha, especially when the weather cools down. This coconut matcha latte has become my go-to when I want a calm, focused energy boost without the jitters. It’s warm, creamy, and has that gentle earthiness that feels like a hug in a mug, almost like my dairy-free maple cinnamon latte.
What sets this version apart is how simple, nourishing, and delicious it is. Sweetened just lightly, made dairy-free with creamy coconut milk, and packed with antioxidants, it’s a perfect afternoon reset for busy days. I’ve even started making a double batch so I can sip one while the kids nap and enjoy the next one iced.

Ingredients and Substitutions
You only need three ingredients for this recipe, which makes it ultra simple.
- Honey: This can be replaced by maple syrup in a pinch or your favorite sugar.
- Coconut milk: Make sure you use a type of coconut milk in a can and then, only the thick, white cream part. This is what makes the latte extra rich. If you love the coconut flavor, you'll also enjoy these coconut flour sugar cookies.
- The best matcha powder: Four Sigmatics uses a blend of matcha green tea and lion's mane mushrooms for their blend, and it's POTENT. This is the BEST way to gain energy and focus without the jitters. Adding Lion's Mane into my diet has been a game-changer in so many ways. I use it for this matcha banana smoothie, too.

Topping: If you have a milk frother, froth up some coconut milk and almond milk for a frothy add-on. Or whip on some Whole30 whipped cream for maximum indulgence.
Vanilla: Add in half a teaspoon of quality vanilla to really bring out the flavor.
