Low-Carb Iced Matcha Tea Latte

If you've joined the matcha craze (or just want to hold a bright green beverage in your palm), Starbucks has a few options for you. Milk, ice, and a matcha tea blend are used to make the iced matcha tea latte. Unfortunately, the tea blend is presweetened, with sugar listed first and ground tea second. As a result, while you can avoid adding sugar to the drink, you can't get rid of the sugar that's already there. While this alternative won't be as low in carbs as an espresso, if you're having it as a treat, there is a method to keep the total low.

One scoop of Starbucks matcha tea powder contains 6 grams of carbohydrates, according to Fast Food Nutrition, while a grande cup typically contains three! Starters can reduce the number of scoops to one and add a green tea bag to add flavor without compromising the drink's nutritional value, next, instead of 2 percent milk, ask for a dash of coconut milk or heavy cream in your iced latte. The former will add a few carbs but a lot of taste and creaminess to the dish. Meanwhile, some heavy cream will thicken this delectable drink while keeping the carbs to a minimum.
