Good to know

When mornings need to be quick, I like mellow recipes like this. Creamy, gently bitter and pleasantly nutty – without much effort.

Swaps

Almond butter → cashew butter (milder flavour, a little creamier) | almond milk → unsweetened oat milk (more carbohydrates, often a slightly fuller body; contains gluten unless certified gluten-free) | yacon syrup → date paste (more natural sweetness, also provides a little fibre) | hemp seeds → hulled pumpkin seeds (also provide plant protein and minerals)

Allergens

Contains tree nuts (almond butter and almond milk). Because of the caffeine in matcha, not ideal for young children; during pregnancy keep an eye on your total caffeine intake for the day.
