# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The matcha delivers a calm, focused energy that coffee lovers swear by once they try it
  • You can make it in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have on hand
02 -
  • Matcha can clump up stubbornly, so give your blender canister a little shake if you see powder stuck to the sides
  • Letting it sit too long makes it separate, so drink it right after blending for the best experience
03 -
  • A teaspoon of coconut oil blended in creates the dreamiest, creamiest texture you've ever experienced
  • Use oat milk if you want something naturally sweeter and more neutral than almond
