3-Ingredient Moringa Latte (Caffeine-Free "Matcha!")
Description
The 3-Ingredient Moringa Latte is made by blending moringa powder with a chosen plant-based milk, such as light canned coconut milk or cashew milk, and a sweetener depending on personal preference. The recipe supports several preparation methods, including whisking moringa with a small amount of hot water before adding heated milk, using a milk frother, or gently heating and whisking the ingredients on the stove.
The latte has a smooth, creamy texture from the coconut or cashew milk and a gentle, green flavor distinct from tea-based matcha. Optional add-ins like ashwagandha, maca powder, or collagen powder can be incorporated to modify nutrition or taste. It can also be served iced by preparing the base and adding chilled milk and ice cubes.
This beverage works well as a comforting warm drink or a refreshing cold alternative. Due to moringa's potency, starting with a smaller dose and consulting a healthcare provider is advised if taking medications or with health concerns. The recipe suggests a balance of milks for a creamy but light result.
Ingredients
LATTE
- 1 tsp moringa powder (click here to see our favorite brands)
- sweetener maple syrup, stevia, or honey - we prefer a dash of stevia, to taste
- 1 cup coconut milk or other dairy-free milk of choice - cashew, oat, or coconut are best in our opinion, light
- 1-2 tsp water for Method 1, hot
ADD-INS optional
- 1/4 tsp ashwagandha
- 1/4 tsp maca powder
- 2-3 Tbsp collagen powder such as Vital Proteins or Sports Research, or Moon Juice Tocos to keep recipe vegan
Instructions
METHOD 1
- For 1 moringa latte, add 1 tsp moringa powder, sweetener of choice (we prefer a dash of stevia), and 1-2 tsp hot water to a small bowl. Use a matcha whisk (or small whisk) to blend completely so no clumps remain (see photo).
- Heat your dairy-free milk of choice (we prefer frothing with our espresso machine, but using the microwave or a saucepan on the stovetop will also work!). Transfer your moringa mixture to your serving mug and top with your heated / frothed dairy-free milk. Enjoy!
METHOD 2
- Alternatively, add dairy-free milk to the Breville Milk Cafe Frother and turn on to start heating / blending. Then add moringa and sweetener of choice (along with any optional add-ins) and blend / heat.
METHOD 3
- Add moringa powder, dairy-free milk, and sweetener of choice (along with any optional add-ins) to a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat and whisk to combine and froth (to retain the most nutrients, be sure not to boil the mixture).
ICED MORINGA LATTE
- You could also enjoy your moringa latte iced by adding all ingredients to a jar with some ice and shaking well to combine.
- Best when fresh, though you could make a batch (using any method) ahead of time and enjoy up to 24-48 hours later (hot or iced).
Notes
- Use a blend of half light canned coconut milk and half cashew milk for a creamy texture.
- Start with ½ teaspoon moringa when first trying, as moringa can affect digestion if consumed in large amounts.
- Consult a doctor before use if taking medications or with health concerns.
- Sweeten to taste with maple syrup, stevia, or honey according to preference.
