I love meals like this because it proves how easy I love meals like this because it proves how easy and stress-free cooking can be! I just grabbed what I had on hand and it turned out so bomb 🤤 

Here’s what I came up with:

—Roasted veggies. I used cauliflower, broccoli, butternut squash, and yellow bell pepper. I tossed the veg in @getgraza olive oil, sea salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 min stirring once halfway thru.

—Cajun Chick’n from @daringfoods SO insanely delicious and was ready in 5 minutes. Like I can’t stress how tasty this vegan chick’n is.

—Chickpea pasta @eatbanza Kept it super simple and just stirred in a cube of vegan butter. So yummy and has a good amount of protein.

—Arugula salad. I tossed arugula with a splash of @getgraza olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. It added suchhh a nice flavor.

These grilled burritos are insane. Truly. They’re packed with the following ultra wholesome ingredients:

—vegan beef from @abbotsbutcher seasoned with @sietefoods taco seasoning
—cauliflower rice (cooked w avo oil, paprika, and garlic)
—refried beans from @sietefoods 
—pico de gallo

Plant-Based Iced Matcha Chai Latte

Plant-Based Iced Matcha Chai Latte.

This plant-based iced matcha chai latte is refreshing, flavorful, and a perfect transition away from coffee. Whether you’re a coffee or matcha fan, you will love this sweet latte. Read on to learn about matcha vs coffee, and why matcha may be superior.

plant-based iced matcha chai latte

Coffee vs Matcha

Coffee gives us a burst of energy and focus, but comes with side effects such as anxiety, an upset stomach, headaches, and an eventual midday crash. Not everyone feels these effects, but coffee tends to be addicting and teaches your body to rely on caffeine to wake up. Withdrawing from coffee is also difficult and has physical effects such as headaches, insomnia, and jitters.

Matcha has caffeine too, but unlike coffee it gives you a clean high. Matcha contains amino acid L-Theanine which gives you the same energy and focus coffee does, but hits you slowly. Coffee hits us instantly which is why we experience some of the negative reactions I noted. Matcha takes a bit longer but keeps us energized longer and relaxed and symptom-free throughout.

Ceremonial Grade Matcha

If you’re thinking about making the switch to matcha, you may be wondering where you can buy matcha, or which brand is best. I recommend ceremonial grade matcha because it is the highest quality matcha and has a subtler taste than culinary grade matcha. Here are my favorite brands:

Ippodo Matcha amazon
$25 / 20gIppodo
(Amazon)
Sunlife Matcha amazon
$35 / 50gSunlife
(Amazon)
Matchabar amazon
$50 / 80gMatchabar

Matcha Chai Latte Accessories

To make the perfect matcha, you need the right accessories. Here’s exactly how I made this matcha:

  • Heat water stovetop or in a kettle.
  • Add matcha to a small dish through a mesh strainer. Use a hooked matcha scooper to measure it out – I usually end up using about 2 tsp.
  • Pour hot water to your matcha – the more water you add, the more subtle the taste of the matcha. I usually add at least 1/2 cup.
  • Use a matcha whisk to get out any clumps. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour milk into your frother. I find an oat or macadamia barista blend milk work best.
  • In a tall glass add ice, a splash of chai concentrate, and a tbsp of maple syrup. Top with your matcha and frothed milk.

Iced Matcha Chai Latte

This iced matcha chai latte is refreshing, flavorful, and earthy.
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 2 tbsp chai concentrate
  • 1 cup oat or macadamia milk see notes, barista blend works best
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ice cubes filled 1/3 the way up your glass

Instructions

  • Heat water stovetop or in a kettle. 
  • Add matcha to a small dish through a mesh strainer. Use a hooked matcha scooper to measure it out. You don't have to use exactly 2 tsp, I typically just eyeball it.
  • Pour hot water to your matcha – the more water you add, the more subtle the taste of the matcha. I usually add at least 1/2 cup, but again just eyeball it.
  • Use a matcha whisk to get out any clumps. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour milk into your frother. I find an oat or macadamia barista blend milk work best. 
  • In a tall glass add ice, chai concentrate, and maple syrup. Top with your matcha and frothed milk.

The crunchy tamari tofu is the star - chop 1/2 block of high protein tofu into cubes and toss in 1 tbsp avocado oil, 2 tbsp tamari, and 2 tbsp corn starch. Air fry until crispy! 

Pair it with warm quinoa, crisp shredded romaine, refreshing cucumber and avocado, black sesame seeds, and flavorful spicy mayo. I use @primalkitchenfoods vegan mayo and any sriacha. To dieee for.
