Drink coffee, more coffee, and then even more coffee. That's the general consensus of what to drink when you're tired and trying to meet work or school deadlines. However, if you're like me and are prone to become anxious and jittery before big deadlines and presentations, coffee is the worst drink to consume!
I like to make this anxiety-friendly matcha latte when I need to keep calm (and require a little energy boost to stay awake) before a big deadline. Watch my go-to matcha recipe video down below:
This matcha latte tastes great, and it's also simple to make, budget-friendly (only requires two ingredients), and contains the many health benefits of matcha and oat milk.
The great thing about matcha is that it doesn't contain as much caffeine as coffee. The caffeine in matcha is slowly released into your body; thus, you'll experience a gradual increase in energy after drinking your matcha latte instead of an instant energy boost, which is much safer for anxiety-prone individuals. Furthermore, drinking matcha won't give you the dreaded energy crash that people often get after the caffeine from their coffee wears off.
The other key ingredient to this matcha latte is oat milk. Oat milk gives this matcha latte its creamy and smooth texture. It's also easy on the stomach (it's dairy and gluten-free) and is a good source of nutrients. Riboflavin, fibre, and Vitamin B just to name a few.
So the next time you're feeling anxious (or preparing for an event that could make you anxious) make my anxiety-friend matcha latte to get you through the day.
