I like enjoying lattes on occasion, but the ones I’ve found in coffeeshops are usually too fattening and sweet. I use this recipe to recreate one of my favorites with much of the unneccessary fat and sugar removed.
Yerba Mate Latte
Ingredients 8oz milk of your choice 4oz water 1/4tsp honey or agave 1 bag yerba mate (or any tea you prefer
Instructions 1. Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave 2. Pour the milk into your mug and add the water 3. Stir honey in until dissolved 4. Add teabag and let steep for at least 5 minutes if it’s mate. Enjoy!
Yerba mate is high in antioxidants and helps provide tons of energy without the jitteriness most caffinated drinks provide. Because of this, it’s often used by dieters to stave off afternoon snack cravings. I find it to be a good morning pick-me-upper, and tend to use one bag for 4-5 cups throughout the day.
To Good Health, Joyce
