Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of matcha do I like?

The KEY to a good matcha latte is using a high quality ceremonial grade matcha. Ceremonial grade matcha is not bitter or fishy like some of the cheaper brands. It has a rich smooth taste. My favorite is Matcha Kari morning ritual matcha which you can use code avocadoskillet for 20% off. I like this matcha because it is organic and has a good taste.

Is matcha healthy for you?

Yes! Matcha is packed with antioxidants. It is also high in EGCG which has been linked to cancer fighting properties. It also has the amino acid l-theanine which helps mitigate any of the jitters from the caffeine.

What protein powder do I like?

My favorites are Truvani, Ritual, and sprout living.

Recipe Pro-Tips

For the best deal on Chia Seeds go to Costco. They are legitimately half the price here than they are at a regular grocery store.

Stir your chia pudding after 5 minutes to prevent clumps.
