About Green tea latte

A green tea latte is a comforting beverage made by blending steamed milk with matcha, a finely ground green tea powder. Originating from Japanese tea culture, matcha has become globally popular due to its vibrant flavor and health benefits. Nutritionally, it offers an excellent source of antioxidants, particularly catechins, a class of flavonoids. A typical green tea latte also provides protein and calcium from milk if dairy-based, or plant-based nutrients when made with alternatives like almond or oat milk. Its calorie content varies depending on sweeteners or milk choice but is generally moderate when unsweetened.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants such as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.
• Provides a gentle caffeine boost combined with L-theanine, promoting alertness and relaxation without the jitters.
• Contains small amounts of potassium, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified milk is used), supporting bone and muscle health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk (if dairy-based milk is used), nuts (if nut-based milk is used like almond milk), soy (if soy milk is used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet, lactose-free diet (if made with plant-based milk), low-calorie diets (if unsweetened)

Not suitable for: Vegan diet (if made with conventional dairy milk), individuals with caffeine sensitivity, low-oxalate diets (due to the oxalates in matcha)

Selection and Storage

Store matcha powder in an airtight container, preferably in a cool, dark place, to preserve its color and potency. Prepare lattes fresh to maintain optimal flavor and nutrient content.

Common Questions About Green tea latte Nutrition

Is green tea latte high in calories or protein?

A green tea latte made with dairy milk typically contains around 190-250 calories and about 8-10 grams of protein per 12-ounce serving. Using plant-based milk like almond milk can reduce calories (approximately 100-150) but also lowers the protein content to around 1-2 grams.

Can I drink green tea latte on a keto or low-carb diet?

Green tea lattes made with traditional sweeteners and regular milk often contain 20-30 grams of carbs per serving, which may not be suitable for keto or low-carb diets. To make it keto-friendly, choose unsweetened almond or coconut milk and use a zero-carb sweetener like stevia or erythritol.

What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking green tea latte?

Green tea lattes provide antioxidants from green tea, especially catechins, which support heart health and metabolism. However, store-bought versions can be high in added sugars (often 20-30 grams per serving), which may negate some health benefits. Opting for unsweetened or homemade versions minimizes this concern.

What is the recommended serving size for a green tea latte?

A standard serving size for a green tea latte is 12 ounces, which balances caffeine content (approximately 30-50 mg) and caloric intake. Drinking one to two servings per day is generally considered moderate and safe for most people.

How does a green tea latte compare to a matcha latte?

While both drinks feature green tea, a green tea latte typically uses brewed green tea, resulting in a lighter flavor and lower caffeine content. Matcha lattes use finely ground powdered green tea, offering a more robust flavor and higher caffeine (50-70 mg per serving) along with a higher concentration of antioxidants.
