Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Naturally Sweet & Creamy: Thanks to blueberries and pure maple syrup, this drink is lightly sweetened without added sugars. It pairs beautifully with something savory like our Matcha Hummus on toast.
- Layered & Lovely: Like the Strawberry Matcha Latte, the visual layers of green and purple make this latte a treat for the eyes and tastebuds.

Nutritional Benefits of This Blueberry Matcha Latte
This drink is not only delicious but deeply nourishing. Blueberries are packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that support immune and brain health. Matcha offers a gentle caffeine boost and contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes focus and a sense of calm energy. Blended with plant-based milk, this drink is a great way to start your day or replace your afternoon coffee. Like our Banana Milk Latte, this latte demonstrates that you can nourish your body while still enjoying something tasty and enjoyable.
What Goes into This Recipe
- Blueberries: Naturally sweet and rich in antioxidants, they give the latte a vibrant purple hue and fruity base that balances the earthy matcha.
- Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk: I used soy milk, but almond, oat, or coconut milk also works. It adds a smooth, creamy texture that ties the flavors together without overpowering the berries or matcha.
- Pure Maple Syrup: Just a touch of this natural sweetener enhances the flavor of the blueberries and softens the bitterness of the matcha, creating a well-rounded sip.
- Matcha Green Tea Powder: Delivers a clean, gentle energy boost with grassy undertones that complement the sweetness of the berries beautifully.

Pro Tips
- Use Fresh or Thawed Blueberries: Frozen blueberries work beautifully, just thaw them first to avoid a slushy texture and ensure a smooth blend.
- Sift Your Matcha: For a lump-free, silky layer, sift the matcha powder before blending. This helps it dissolve more easily and creates a frothier finish.
- Chill Ingredients for an Iced Version: If you’re serving this cold, use chilled milk and berries, and pour over ice for a super refreshing summer sip.
- Layer Slowly: To achieve that eye-catching two-tone look, pour the matcha mixture slowly over the back of a spoon onto the blueberry layer.
- Adjust Sweetness Naturally: If your blueberries are extra ripe, you may need less maple syrup. Taste as you go!
