Healthy Pumpkin Matcha Latte

Even though it’s only August…… Apparently it’s pumpkin season already. I had a friend this past weekend who told me that she literally only left the house Saturday for a PSL at Starbucks, which honestly, sounds like an amazing Saturday. As someone who avoids added sugars and fillers for my health, I knew that I could make a recipe that was healthier. I created an iced pumpkin latte back in 2020, and it is still my go-to. However, I hadn’t ventured into a pumpkin matcha, but I knew it was time.

Please enjoy this refined sugar free pumpkin spiced matcha that you can enjoy all season long. You can use the code BDWellness for 10% off Art of Tea’s matcha, which is my absolute favorite matcha and what we used to use at Story Coffee House. You can also read more on matcha in my recipe on matcha oat muffins blog.
