This coconut cashew matcha latte is super creamy with just the right hit of caffeine. Ground vanilla and coconut butter make it extra good!

I know I’ve done a ton of drinks with cashews lately, but somehow I was gifted two Costco bags of raw cashews (both purchasers did not realize they were raw hehe) relatively recently so… forgive me? Maybe someone out there is in the same predicament and totally appreciates the cashew frequency. I’ve been turning to matcha in the mornings lately because it’s a much more chill caffeine buzz that keeps me feeling more steady. Plus this drink with cashews and coconut butter is so creamy and comforting first thing.

Matcha is made from stone ground, shade-grown tea leaves. The fine powder mixed with hot water results in an earthy, rich and mellow beverage that is enjoyed in Japan, and all over the world. I love this history of matcha piece on the Mizuba Tea website (I have had their matcha when I was in Portland—so great!). If you are looking for a more traditional way to enjoy matcha, Candace Kumai has a recipe and how-to video on her site—along with so many delicious matcha creations.

And some links this week! I feel really good about this particular bunch, and hope you enjoy them as much as me. Hope you all get a little rest and some time in the sunshine over the weekend. All my xo’s

I’m still slowly empowering myself to say no to certain work situations. There’s a heavy truth to it because you don’t have to explain yourself. Saying no leaves zero opportunity for confusion on where you really stand. You are more trustworthy because you say no when you want to.

The case for not changing your lifestyle one small step at a time. Doing it all at once could lead to greater success in every facet of your life.
