Creamy, vibrant, and perfectly chilled — this Keto Iced Matcha Latte delivers a smooth boost of energy without the sugar. With earthy matcha, almond milk, and a hint of sweetness, it’s the ultimate low-carb pick-me-up for any time of day.

About This Recipe

Matcha has taken the world by storm in recent years, and for good reason. This finely ground green tea powder doesn’t just offer a vibrant color—it’s also rich in antioxidants, provides sustained energy, and has a uniquely earthy flavor. But while most coffee shops serve matcha lattes loaded with sugar, this Keto Iced Matcha Latte keeps things low-carb, sugar-free, and perfectly refreshing.

Made with high-quality matcha powder, unsweetened almond or coconut milk, and your choice of keto-friendly sweetener, this drink is a clean and satisfying alternative to sugary café versions. The beauty of making it at home is that you’re in full control: you can adjust the sweetness, creaminess, and even the intensity of the matcha to suit your taste. Add plenty of ice, and you have a chilled latte that’s both delicious and keto-compliant.

Unlike coffee, which can cause energy spikes and crashes, matcha provides a smoother, longer-lasting boost thanks to its combination of caffeine and L-theanine. That means you’ll feel alert and focused without the jitters. It’s a fantastic morning or afternoon beverage, especially if you’re looking for a lighter alternative to your usual coffee fix.

Nutritionally, this recipe is a winner. It’s dairy-free (if you use almond or coconut milk), sugar-free, and naturally low in carbs. Each serving provides antioxidants and a touch of healthy fat from the milk, making it a keto-friendly beverage you can enjoy daily. Best of all, it’s incredibly quick to prepare—just whisk, pour, and sip.

Whether you’re new to matcha or already a fan, this Keto Iced Matcha Latte is sure to become a staple in your routine. It’s refreshing on hot days, makes a great mid-afternoon pick-me-up, and gives you the coffeehouse experience without the carbs or the price tag. Once you try it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start making it at home sooner.
