Two icons. One cup.
Clean energy + antioxidants.
Yup, we’re mixing açaí and matcha. And it’s about to become your new obsession.
You know I love to try new combos with my daily matcha, so I’m constantly on the lookout for fun drinks and recipes. Well, when I saw that some people were making açai matcha bowls that looked incredible, I immediately thought: what about a drink?
This açaí matcha latte is the superfood combination you didn’t know you needed: it’ll give you an unbelievable energy boost that is packed with antioxidants and other nutrients like vitamin A. A glorious, beastly color-popping masterpiece. You’re about to get the best of both worlds. Let’s make it happen.
why this combo slays (and is actually good for you)
Sure, the colors are stunning, but the real power of this drink is what’s inside.
Açaí is packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins that support your skin, energy, and immune system. It’s like nature’s version of a glow filter.
And matcha? You already know it! It gives you calm, sustained energy thanks to its unique combo of caffeine and L-theanine. No jitters, no crash, just that focused, feel-good vibe that makes you want to actually tick things off your to-do list.
Together, they’re the dream duo: one brings radiance, the other brings balance.
what you’ll need
Let’s start with the basics: the ingredients that make this drink a total mood booster. We’re using açaí powder (you can find it easily on Amazon), but I guess you could also go with açaí pulp, too! The method might be a bit different though, so you do you…
Here’s what you’ll need:
-
½ cup milk (any kind works, oat, almond, soy, or dairy)
-
2 tsp açaí powder
-
Sweetener of your choice (we’re using honey, but you can go for agave, maple syrup, or whatever you usually go for)
-
1 scoop Matcha DNA organic matcha powder
-
2 oz hot water
-
Ice cubes
💡 Pro tip: if you’re using plant-based milk, go for a creamy one. It helps the layers blend beautifully and keeps your matcha from tasting too earthy.
step-by-step instructions
It’s honestly not that complicated.
-
Mix your açaí base: In a glass, pour the milk, açaí powder, and a drizzle of your favorite sweetener. Stir until it turns that dreamy purple shade. I recommend using a frother to make it easier (and faster).
-
Whisk the matcha: In a small bowl, sift a scoop of your matcha powder to remove any clumps. Add hot water (remember, not boiling!) and whisk it until it’s smooth and frothy. Again, we use a frother, but you could use a matcha whisk (or even shake it inside a bottle! We don’t judge here, and our matcha is perfect for mixing).
-
Assemble your masterpiece: Get your açaí milk mixture and add as much ice as you want. Now slowly pour the matcha over it and watch the colors swirl together. Give it a gentle stir, snap a pic (you know you want to), and sip away!
The flavor? Smooth, slightly tart, and earthy. Perfect for a 3 p.m. pick-me-up, a post-workout glow moment, your morning latte… whenever you’re craving it!
